Cambodia Chamber of Commerce is going to host the ASEAN Business and Investment Summit at Sofitel Phnom Penh Phokeethra, Phnom Penh and online on Nov. 9-10.
The official opening ceremony will take place on Nov. 10 under the presidency of Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia.
According to a joint press release, the ASEAN Business and Investment Summit is Southeast Asia’s premier annual forum that brings together the Presidents and Prime Ministers as well as business and thought leaders of ASEAN and its Dialogue Partners.
The Summit, an official part of the ASEAN Summit week, is an important platform for the business community to hear directly from Leaders and from business decision makers on how to address the key issues facing Southeast Asia.
The theme for the year is ‘Addressing Challenges Together’. Southeast Asia is indeed going through a challenging time. Increasing geopolitical tension, coupled with the impact of the war in Ukraine, at a time where Southeast Asia’s economies are still struggling to get back on their feet and recover from the pandemic require a united ASEAN response.
“It is imperative that we come together to not only address these challenges but to also prepare for a shared integrated future that is increasingly digital and in a way that achieves both our economic growth needs and our climate change commitments,” said the press release.
Cambodia is delighted that, for the first time in two years, the ASEAN Business and Investment Summit will be able to welcome overseas participants and expect the participation of over one thousand business leaders from across ASEAN and from our Dialogue Partners, it underlined.
