Trade between Thailand and Cambodia hit over USD 4.18 billion during the first 10 months of the year, up 12 percent against the same period last year, according to the Thai Embassy in Cambodia.

Cambodia’s trade reform has facilitated the growth of import from the ASEAN member states, the European Union, China, and Japan this year, Secretary of State of Ministry of Commerce Kim Sithon said.
