PHNOM PENH: The Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC) is actively seeking nine investment projects on islands and beaches in Sihanoukville and seven in Koh Kong.

A meeting was held, chaired by HE Sok Chenda Sophea, Minister Delegate to the Prime Minister and Secretary General of the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC), to discuss investment projects along islands, beaches, and resorts.

The meeting aimed to determine principles for the further development and management of the projects. During the meeting, the Deputy Governor provided informative comments and crisis solutions rooted in win-win politics, which received acclaim from the leadership and the public.

The southern region of Cambodia encompasses 443 square kilometers of coastline, spanning four provinces: Sihanoukville, Kampot, Kep, and Koh Kong. These provinces are located alongside the mesmerizing blue sea, offering stunning views of forested islands.

Beneath the crystal waters lie ample opportunities for diving and snorkeling, where one can observe the vibrant marine flora and fauna of Cambodia. Additionally, one cannot miss the delectable fresh seafood and instant fishing Kep crabs, followed by the famous green Kampot peppers. These dishes are best enjoyed with local spicy sauces that add an extra layer of flavor to your gastronomical experience.
