The visit aimed to gain insights into large-scale production chain management, clean energy technologies, and modernisation of the petrochemical industry. SK Incheon Petrochem, established in 1969 as Korea's third oil refinery, currently processes approximately 265,000 barrels of crude oil per day.
During the meeting, H.E. Sun Chanthol encouraged the company's management to explore investment opportunities directly in Cambodia, reaffirming the Royal Government's readiness to provide comprehensive facilitation for foreign businesses to ensure their success and sustainable growth.
The visit provided the Cambodian delegation with valuable knowledge on green industry models and sustainable energy management, which will inform future policy formulation and investment attraction in Cambodia's energy and supporting industries.
