The company has pledged to work closely with the Cambodian government and other key stakeholders to achieve the strategic goals outlined in the country’s Pentagonal Strategy.

Wang Ke, senior representative of Huawei, gave the assurance to Khuon Sudary, President of the National Assembly, during the latter’s visit to Huawei Technology Co., Ltd. in Beijing on Monday.

While highlighting the company’s substantial contributions to Cambodia’s ICT infrastructure development, digital transformation and capacity building over the past 25 years, Wang emphasized Huawei’s commitment to working closely with the Cambodian government and other key stakeholders to achieve the strategic goals outlined in the Pentagonal Strategy.

“Huawei has been instrumental in advancing digital trade, digital tourism, smart manufacturing, digital government and digital inclusion in Cambodia. We are dedicated to continuing our support to realize a digital Cambodia,” Wang said.

Sudary underscored the crucial role of technology in promoting effective governance and reform. She urged Huawei to increase its investment in Cambodia’s digital transformation, particularly in the education and healthcare sectors as well as in developing digital skills.

“Huawei should work closely with the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications (MPTC) to enhance ICT infrastructure and promote a whole-of-government and whole-of-society digital transformation,” she said.

Wang also discussed the importance of digital solutions in managing and adapting to epidemics and disasters. He highlighted the potential of the Industrial and Technological Corridor, under the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership of Cooperation and the Diamond Cooperation between Cambodia and China, to drive Cambodia’s economic growth and achieve Vision 2050 as a high-income country.

The company’s commitment to supporting Cambodia’s digital transformation aligns with the government’s vision of a more connected, efficient and inclusive society, he added.

Huawei is ready to support Cambodia in the development of digital energy, digital skills, information highways and digital twins as critical components of this vision, Wang concluded.
