A senior official at the World Economic Forum (WEF) has expressed support for Cambodia’s chairmanship of ASEAN, committing efforts to find ways of helping the Kingdom achieve its goals in the fields of digital commerce and investment facilitation, the Ministry of Commerce said in a statement on March 2.
The government has launched a new policy in a bid to begin the Kingdom’s transition to a digital government. The Cambodian Digital Government Policy 2022-2035 aims to establish a government underpinned by digital infrastructure and technologies that modernise governance structures and guide reforms in all sectors, according to the 97-page document seen by The Post on February 4.
The Ministry of Post and Telecommunications has put the Digital Community of Cambodia (DCC) system into action, bringing together digital technology professionals who have signed up for the system so that they can share professional development opportunities.
The Ministry of Commerce is seeking support from Singapore in economic cooperation in the digital space and retail sales in small- and medium-sized enterprises (SME), as data traffic soars during the Covid-19 crisis.
