Phnom Penh – Quebec Premier Paul St-Pierre Plamondon made a stop in Cambodia for a landmark meeting bringing together the Quebec diaspora established in the Kingdom and future Quebec economic actors and investors interested in opportunities in the Cambodian market.
This visit is part of the Quebec government’s clear ambition to strengthen its commercial presence in Southeast Asia, a region in full expansion where Cambodia holds a strategic position.
Before an audience of entrepreneurs, representatives of economic promotion bodies, and members of the local Quebec community, the Premier highlighted the importance of creating an ecosystem conducive to the establishment of Quebec companies in the country. He reminded the audience that Quebec holds considerable strengths — technological expertise, know-how in sustainable development, and a highly skilled workforce — that align with the needs of a country in the process of structuring its modern economy.
The meeting also addressed the concrete issues of investment: the legal framework, facilitation of administrative procedures, and support for Quebec companies looking to establish themselves sustainably in Cambodia.
For the Quebec diaspora in attendance, this visit sent a strong signal: the provincial government intends not only to support its citizens abroad but also to make them natural ambassadors of the economic relationship between the two territories.
