Cambodia Strengthens Regional Ties at SCO Gathering
Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet commenced his visit to Tianjin on Saturday ahead of the 2025 Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit, scheduled from August 31 to September 1. The northern Chinese port city will host leaders from across Asia to discuss security cooperation and economic integration.
The SCO, comprising members from Central Asia to South Asia, continues expanding its influence as a platform for addressing regional challenges. Cambodia's participation signals its growing engagement with multilateral frameworks shaping Asia's geopolitical landscape.
Analysts note the summit's agenda likely includes counterterrorism strategies, digital economy partnerships, and infrastructure development initiatives. For investors, the event serves as a barometer for emerging cross-border opportunities in energy and technology sectors.
Tianjin's selection as host city underscores China's role in facilitating dialogue among SCO members and observer states. The summit occurs amid increasing collaboration between Southeast Asian nations and continental economic blocs.
