On 3 March 2023, we were highly honored to welcome the visit of H.E. UENO Atsushi, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Japan to the Kingdom of Cambodia, to the Royal Group Phnom Penh Special Economic Zone (RGPPSEZ).

2023 marks the 70^th Anniversary of the diplomatic relationship of Japan and Cambodia. And it has been agreed that the two countries further upgrade the bilateral relationship to a “comprehensive strategic partnership” from 2023.

H.E. UENO has been appointed as Ambassador of Japan to Cambodia since January 2023. In his greeting message posted in the website of Embassy of Japan in Cambodia, H.E. UENO said “As Ambassador, I would like to focus on interacting with as many Cambodian people as possible, from both the public and private sectors, in order to gain a deeper understanding of the country’s society and culture. Through such exchanges, I will do my best to further develop Japan-Cambodia relations. I would also like to develop trade and investment relations, as well as continuing the economic cooperation that supports Cambodia's economic and social development which Japan has been providing for many years.”

This is H.E.’s first time visit to our zone as a new Ambassador. The visit was organized at some well-known Japanese companies namely Ajinomoto, Sumi Wiring Systems, Minebea, and the construction site of Toyota Tsusho Manufacturing.

This very visit of H.E. Ambassador does give us pride and honor, especially the courage and enthusiasm to try even harder.
