The globalization has brought a new face for Cambodia. From being referred to as a stigmatized nation-state in Asia, Cambodia is now a full member of the regional integration and globalization, where we can compete to the full length for internal economic interests.
In addition to the existing membership to the United Nations, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, our most recent memberships to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (1998), the World Trade Organization (2004) has brought brand-new opportunities for Cambodian people and the world. This opportunities cover on all industries; tourism, manufacturing, agriculture, services, banking and technology. And we recently become one of the fastest growing economies in Southeast Asia.
We understand that in order to enjoy this opportunity, Cambodians and those having economic and non-economic interests in Cambodia must be kept abreast about the latest trends of our regionalization as well as globalization. So we created this blog to garner all international and regional legal instruments that Cambodia signed, adopted or acceded to, so that you can make the most informed decision.
