The recently-signed Cambodia-China Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) free trade pact will be key drivers to reboot Cambodia’s economic growth in the post-COVID-19 era, the nation’s officials and experts said.






Cambodian government chief spokesman Phay Siphan said the two pacts will greatly contribute to boosting Cambodia’s economy and improving people’s livelihoods when they enter into force. 

The two agreements show our unity towards a community of common destiny,” he told Xinhua in an exclusive interview. “They will provide us greater market access with no tariff barriers.”

Siphan said the two pacts truly demonstrated China’s unwavering commitment to enhancing free trade and multilateralism despite the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic.
