It is aimed to make the economic activities in Cambodia more active for sustainable development, boost job creation, promote local products as well as regional and global trade integration.
The event also offers more opportunities to Cambodian producers to work hard to upgrade and modernise their production base, products and services in response to market demand, and plays as a trade forum for all stakeholders, both national and international, to meet and discuss their business endeavours.
