PHNOM PENH: The Malaysian Business Chamber in Cambodia (MBCC) said the kingdom remains a safe destination for businesses and foreign investors despite border tensions with Thailand.
The Phnom Penh-based chamber’s president, Tan Khee Meng, said MBCC will continue to share relevant information with the business community on the prevailing situation.
"We will continue to provide reliable information to international business partners, assuring them that operations in Cambodia remain secure and that the country is safe for travel and business activities as usual,” Tan said in a statement.
The peaceful northern region of Cambodia has been rocked by armed conflict since July 24, with 13 people, including soldiers and civilians, having perished.
The Ministry of National Defence disclosed that over 80,000 people have been displaced, and about 500 schools in several northern provinces have been temporarily closed.
"MBCC calls upon all parties involved to seek peaceful resolutions and support international efforts to restore harmony and safety to the region,” said Tan.
In Phnom Penh, business is as usual, as the border conflict is going on in remote areas, hundreds of kilometres away from the capital. - Bernama
