PHL, Cambodia eye investments
PHILIPPINE Ambassador to Cambodia Flerida Ann Camille P. Mayo on Wednesday met with Cambodian Senate President Techo Hun Sen to discuss boosting investments in the food and beverage, retail, health and education sectors between both countries, according to the Philippine Embassy in Cambodia.
“It bodes well for our countries’ friendship that our leaders have set the directions to expand our partnership for mutual benefit,” the envoy told Mr. Hun Sen, based on an embassy statement.
The embassy said the envoy and lawmaker discussed their countries’ ties in tourism and cybersecurity, international and regional issues.
It added that the Cambodian Senate leader had a “positive view” of Filipino workers and Philippine businesses in his country.
