📰Cambodia Chamber of Commerce to Open Paris Office as Trade with France Expands
— The Cambodia Chamber of Commerce (CCC) will establish a representative office in Paris with 15 elected members, underscoring efforts to deepen economic ties with France as bilateral trade continues to grow, officials said Friday.
According to a government decision, the office will be officially known as the Representative Office of the Cambodia Chamber of Commerce in Paris, France, with jurisdiction covering the capital. The 15 members will be chosen through an election, and the office will operate without using the national budget.
Ministers of Economy and Finance, Commerce, Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, along with other relevant institutions, have been tasked with implementing the decision.
The move comes as Cambodia and France prepare for the Third Cambodia–France Business Forum in November. Commerce Secretary of State Samheng Bora recently met French officials, including Emmanuel Ly‑Batallan, economic counsellor at the French Embassy, and representatives of the France–Cambodia Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCIFC) and French Foreign Trade Advisors (CCEF), to review arrangements.
The forum will serve as a key platform for promoting trade, investment and collaboration between Cambodian and French companies, highlighting opportunities in agriculture, manufacturing, services and innovation.
According to the Ministry of Commerce, bilateral trade reached USD 267 million in the first five months of 2026, up 15.1 percent year‑on‑year. Cambodian exports totaled USD 213 million, while imports from France stood at USD 53 million. In 2025, total trade reached USD 568 million, marking an 11.7 percent increase compared with 2024.
The CCC said the Paris office will provide a permanent presence to support Cambodian businesses, strengthen partnerships and expand economic cooperation with France, a key European partner in Cambodia’s diversification strategy.
