PHNOM PENH/LONDON (Khmer Times): The Techo Takhmao International Airport (TIA), which is now nearing construction completion in Kandal Province’s Takhmao district, is a large-scale airport development that might just transform Cambodia’s capital city, Phnom Penh, into the “new Singapore” of the region, observed an op-ed article published by UK-based media outlet the Daily Express.

The article published on October 20 has contended that similar to Singapore’s swift growth as a global logistics player linking East and West economies in years passed, Cambodia is set for a major renewal as a logistics hub for global trade and tourism following the completion of the new $1.2 billion TIA airport.
