Cambodia is going to open its sixth trade center in China on Dec. 28 to further promote bilateral ties in trade, investment, culture and tourism, Commerce Minister Pan Sorasak said Wednesday.

The new trade center will be located in Kunming, capital of southwest China's Yunnan province, he said, and Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister Yim Chhay Ly is scheduled to attend the launching ceremony.

"The center will exhibit Cambodian products and documents relevant to culture and tourism sites, business environment and investment potentials in Cambodia," he said in a speech at the Ministry of Commerce's annual conference.

Sorasak said the existing five Cambodian trade centers in China are resided in Guangzhou in southern Guangdong province, Xi'an in northwestern Shaanxi province, Haining in eastern Zhejiang province, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and Yantai in eastern Shandong province.

Cambodian Ministry of Commerce Spokesman Seang Thay said Cambodia saw China as a huge market for its products, particularly for agricultural ones.

And for trade, the two-way trade volume was valued at 6.6 billion U.S. dollars last year and is projected to hit 10 billion U.S. dollars by 2023.
