The Cambodian Investment Board (CIB), under the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC), met with a delegation from Shijiazhuang Hongray Group Co., Ltd. on January 15, 2026, during which the Chinese company confirmed it intends to find a location to establish a medical glove manufacturing plant with 10 production lines.

The meeting was coordinated by the Jiangsu Chinese Entrepreneurs Association in Cambodia to discuss bilateral cooperation and investment projects. H.E. Chea Vuthy, Secretary General of the CIB, led his delegation, while the Shijiazhuang Hongray Group delegation was led by the company's Deputy General Director, Dai Shuming.

During the meeting, Dai Shuming spoke about Shijiazhuang Hongray Group's 30 years of experience in producing and exporting medical gloves to the U.S. and European markets. This is the second time his company came to visit Cambodia in order to research the investment environment. He affirmed that the company is looking for a suitable location to build a medical glove manufacturing facility with 10 production lines.

In response, H.E. Chea Vuthy suggested the company either establish its plant within a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) with existing infrastructure, or consider creating a new SEZ with its own production chains to attract more investors in the industrial cluster. 

The CIB secretary general also advised the company to select a less populated area in order to minimise the potential negative impacts the plant may have on its surrounding environment. Furthermore, he stressed the need to carefully consider how the company will source raw materials, such as wood chips, to generate electricity for the plant's production lines.

In January 2026, the CDC reviewed nine new qualified investment projects (QIPs), with a combined capital of USD 67 million, during its first One-Window-Service meeting of the year. These projects cover a diverse range of industrial activities, including yarn dyeing, canned fish production, and the manufacturing of electrical appliances. In 2025, 

According to data published by the General Department of Customs and Excise (GDCE), bilateral trade between Cambodia and China reached USD 19.73 billion in 2025, marking a 29.9 per cent increase from the USD 15.18 billion recorded in 2024. China continues to be Cambodia's top trading partner.
