H.E. Hem Vanndy, Minister of Industry, Science, Technology & Innovation, concluded his tour of all 25 capital-provinces with a visit to the Koh Kong Provincial Department of Industry, Science, Technology & Innovation (DISTI) on October 18, 2024.

During the visit, Minister Vanndy emphasized Koh Kong’s potential as part of the government’s multi-purpose coastal economic corridor and urged the DISTI to remain active and proactive by engaging with businesses and adopting a risk-based approach to industrial regulations and compliance.

He said the Royal Government of the 7th mandate focuses on industrialization and economic diversification as key drivers for escaping the middle-income trap. He called on DISTI to propose the standards most needed to boost the competitiveness and market access of products in the province.
