Hun Manet fishing for increased FDI
East Asia Forum / Mom MitForeign direct investment (FDI) is critical for economic growth in developing countries like Cambodia. Former Prime Minister Hun Senâ a strong political and economic ally of China â led Manet on his first visit to China, where he signed agreements to increase FDI in construction and manufacturing. But Manet is actively making new friends on the international stage in order to reduce reliance on a single country and diversify economic partnerships to maintain sustainable economic development.295 days ago | ភាសារខ្មែរFunan Techo Canal Project underscores Cambodia’s struggle for strategic autonomy

Under Hun Sen, the foreign policy was perceived as closely aligned with China, relying heavily on Chinese aid and investments for development while supporting the regimeâs legitimacy. Now, Hun Manet faces the critical task of diversifying Cambodiaâs foreign policy. He must maintain friendly ties with China while cultivating relationships with other nations to maximise benefits at home, as overreliance on any single country poses risks to Cambodiaâs autonomy and economic stability.over a year ago | ភាសារខ្មែរCambodia is still a long way away from a civil nuclear program
