Governor of Takeo Seeks Chinese Investment for New Port Construction.


Takeo: The Takeo provincial governor has reached out to Hangxiao Steel Structure Co., Ltd. from the People’s Republic of China, urging them to invest in the construction of a new port and in livestock development within the province.

According to Agence Kampuchea Presse, H.E. Vei Samnang extended this invitation during a meeting on November 26 with representatives of Hangxiao Steel Structure Co., Ltd. in Shanghai, China. The governor was in the city leading a delegation on a week-long visit. He took this opportunity to discuss the potential of Takeo province, emphasizing the progress of the Funan Techo Canal construction, which is poised to become a crucial transportation route alongside existing National Roads 2 and 3, and other means of transport such as airways and railways.
