Counselor Li Jie, on behalf of the Chinese Embassy in Cambodia, congratulated on the unveiling ceremony of the HGCCC. He hoped that it will inherit and carry forward the traditions of solidarity, friendship, mutual assistance, and harmonious development; guide members to abide by Cambodian laws, regulations, and traditional customs; and, work together for the wellbeing of its members and the Cambodian Chinese, so as to promote Cambodian social advancement, and make its own contribution to enhancing the friendship between China and Cambodia.

The Hunan Chamber of Commerce in Cambodia was established in October 2012, and upgraded to the Hunan General Chamber of Commerce in December 2017. The membership units have grown from more than 40 in the founding period to 138 of today. Nearly 100,000 Hunanese in Cambodia are engaged in the fields of garment, manufacturing, engineering construction, mining, agriculture, forestry, hydropower, internet, tourism, catering, trade, logistics, advertising, and media. A group of Hunan enterprises stand out and continue to Cambodian development. HGCC’s establishment would witness more stories of Hunan people who “dare to be the first” in Cambodia.
