BUSINESS NEWS CAMBODIA: Forum breaks ice, yet more time needed
Long time foreign members of the Cambodian business community said the US-ASEAN
Business Forum, held on Friday in Siem Reap, was largely successful in setting the country
in the sights of America businesses, but multinational corporations wil need more time in
the Kingdom before nailing down hard deals. The forum, which put companies such as
Boeing, FedEx and Procter & Gamble into the same room with some of Cambodia's biggest
firms, was the largest meeting between the two countries' business communities. General
Electric signed a US$3 mil ion biomass power deal with local firm Soma Group. For
companies with little experience in the country, more trips and meetings would be
necessary to square away partnerships and deals with Cambodian companies. One of the
main functions of the forum was to serve as a showcase for successful international-
domestic co-operation in the country. (Phnom Penh Post) The securities firm you can trust │ Page 1 of 3 See important disclosures at the end of this report THAILAND: Thailand's Board of Investors looks at the country's investment CSX INDEXES
