PM calls on Japan to further support Cambodia’s infrastructure and logistics development

Prime Minister Hun Manet has called on Japan to continue supporting the development of Cambodia’s physical infrastructure and logistics sector, particularly at the Sihanoukville Autonomous Port (PAS).

 

Speaking in the presence of Japanese Ambassador to Cambodia Ueno Atsushi during celebrations in Preah Sihanouk province yesterday marking the 140th anniversary of International Labour Day and the 30th anniversary of Japan’s Official Development Assistance to PAS (1996-2026), he expressed his deep appreciation to the Government and people of Japan, as well as the Japan International Cooperation Agency, for their longstanding contributions to Cambodia’s infrastructure development.

“Japan is a leading partner that has supported the development and expansion of PAS since 1996. Today, Japan not only provides financial assistance but also supports the construction and management of the port,” he said.

The Prime Minister also expressed his hope that Japan would extend further support to the development of the Cambodia Logistics Centre adjacent to PAS.

At the same time, he underscored that infrastructure development remains a core government priority for driving economic growth and connectivity.
