Cambodia and Canada discuss cooperation to support Cambodia’s digital and green economic vision

Sun Chanthol, Deputy Prime Minister and First Vice-Chairman of the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC), led a Cambodian delegation on an investment promotion mission to Canada, where he held a working meeting with Victor Fedeli, Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation, and Trade of Ontario Province.

The meeting was held on October 29 and was also attended by senior officials from the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Industry, Science, Technology and Innovation, the Cambodia Oknha Association, and representatives from the Honorary Consulate of the Kingdom of Cambodia in Ontario.

Discussions centred on expanding economic, trade, and investment cooperation between Cambodia and Ontario, one of Canada’s most dynamic and technologically advanced provinces. Both sides explored opportunities for collaboration in technology transfer, digital economy, agro-industry, and clean technology, in line with Cambodia’s vision for a digital and green economy.

Chanthol highlighted Cambodia’s growing appeal as a new investment destination for Canadian companies, citing the Kingdom’s favourable investment law, proactive government policies, and strategic incentives—particularly in infrastructure, agro-processing, and renewable energy—sectors that align closely with Ontario’s industrial expertise.

For his part, Minister Fedeli reaffirmed Ontario’s commitment to strengthening trade and investment ties with Cambodia. He recognised the Kingdom’s strong economic potential and expressed his intention to undertake an official visit to Cambodia in the near future.

Both sides agreed to deepen collaboration and promote greater trade and investment flows between Cambodia and Canada, paving the way for a stronger and more diversified economic partnership in the years ahead.
