The second round of formal negotiations for the Cambodia-United Arab Emirates Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CAM-UAE CEPA) concluded recently. Progress was made on provisions concerning key areas for sustainable and inclusive socio-economic development like trade in goods and services, investment, agriculture, e-commerce, industry and energy.
The three-day follow-up round of talks was held in Phnom Penh, nearly two months after the first one organized in Abu Dhabi.
The latest talks ironed out several points of disagreement to help ensure a comprehensive and long-term yet flexible framework for the CEPA that better establishes common positions and interests, the Cambodian commerce ministry affirmed in a statement.
