Australia is working with the Cambodian Government to foster investment and trade, contributing to Cambodia’s resilient, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth. 

Through CAPRED, Australia is supporting the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC) in developing a three-year Investment Promotion Strategy (2025-2028). 

The strategy will focus on the agro-processing and electronics sectors. This initiative is part of Australia’s broader support for inclusive growth in Cambodia and advances Australia’s Southeast Asia Economic Strategy to 2040, which promotes two-way trade and investment in the region. 

Recently, the Embassy’s First Secretary, Ms. Kanu Negi, and H.E. Mr. Nut Unvoanra, Deputy Secretary General of CDC, jointly led a cross departmental CDC meeting to review the current investment climate and identify gaps and opportunities to inform the strategy and related work plan.
