Cambodia is a country that has risen from the edge of an abyss and transformed itself into a peaceful nation with improved social order, stability, cooperation and development. Building on this, the Royal Government of Cambodia has an ambitious vision to transform Cambodia into a fast-growing regional economy based on agriculture and agro-industries, manufacturing, tourism-related industries, and human resource development.
