Japanese retailer opened a logistics center in Cambodia

On Friday, Major Japanese retailer Aeon Mall has opened a logistics center in a special economic zone near the southern port of Sihanoukville in Cambodia. The port is the only one in the country accessible by large container vessels. A project to develop it into an international hub is underway, with assistance from Japan.

Aeon Mall is located in a special economic zone adjacent to the port. The center features a warehouse, allowing businesses to store imported goods without paying duties for a certain period of time. Japan aims to catch up through public- and private-sector efforts to promote trade.
