VIENTIANE (Vientiane Times/Asia News Network): Cambodia’s Prince Holding Group has donated US$1 million to the Lao government in response to calls from Cambodian authorities to strengthen cooperation with Laos in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic, according to the Phnom Penh Post.

The chairman of Prince Holding Group - one of Cambodia’s largest and fastest growing conglomerates - Neak Oknha Chen Zhi, handed over the donation last week at the Lao Embassy in Phnom Penh.

The driving force behind Cambodia’s successful Prince Holding Group, which includes the Prince Real Estate Group, Prince Bank, Prince Huan Yu, Belt Road Capital Management and Cambodia Airways, Chen Zhi is no stranger to the Kingdom’s business landscape.

The Cambodian entrepreneur was recognised as the “Entrepreneur of the Year - Conglomerates” at the 2021 International Business Awards, being the only entrepreneur honoured in a category that celebrates leaders running multi-industry businesses.

In addition, he is one of three Asian business leaders recognised for their dynamic entrepreneurialism in different sectors during one of the most challenging years for corporate leadership.

In an era when leading corporates are fulfilling their social responsibilities, Neak Oknha Chen Zhi and his leadership team at the Prince Group have been working tirelessly for the social good in Cambodia, and playing their part in helping the Kingdom overcome the pandemic.
