When Hong Kong, Macao and overseas Chinese businessmen stand on the bridge of the strong friendship between China and Cambodia, with nostalgia for their homeland on one side and the warmth of ASEAN on the other, the Mid Autumn Festival reunion banquet quietly becomes a prelude to cooperation connecting the mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Cambodia.

Ambassador's message to overseas Chinese businessmen seeking cooperation

On September 20, 2026 local time, Chinese Ambassador to Cambodia Wang Wenbin sent a message to overseas Chinese businessmen in Cambodia, Hong Kong, and Macao to seize the opportunity, deeply cultivate the hot soil of China Cambodia cooperation, give full play to the unique advantages of Hong Kong and Macao in connecting domestic and foreign countries, and facilitate the economic and trade linkage between Hong Kong, Macao, and Cambodia, deepen cooperation in industries, commerce, culture, and tourism between the two places, and inject new momentum into improving the quality and efficiency of practical cooperation between China and Cambodia.

It encourages Cambodian and ASEAN enterprises to actively explore the Chinese mainland and global markets by utilizing Hong Kong as a super contact and super value-added window. At the same time, we will strengthen our connections with educational institutions in Cambodia, promote the brand of studying in Hong Kong, and promote people to people and talent exchanges between the two regions.
