Addressing the workshop on Aug. 26, H.E. Cherdkiat Atthakor, Ambassador of Thailand to Cambodia, highlighted that it was part of the Thai Embassy’s initiative to foster Thai businesses in Cambodia.

It serves as a forum to share knowledge and best practices, especially in customs and border operations, to enhance trade between Thailand and Cambodia, he added.

Director General of Customs and Excise of Cambodia H.E. Kun Nhim, who co-chaired the workshop, echoed the insights of the Thai ambassador on the event.

Building awareness of the private sector on customs laws and regulations related to trade is crucial for boosting the business environment and ensuring compliance with customs procedures in Cambodia, he underlined.

He was positive that a better understanding of the customs laws and regulations will contribute to a fruitful customs-private sector partnership mechanism that promotes the business environment and bilateral trade for mutual benefits between Cambodia and Thailand.
