Retail giant Walmart to buy more products from Cambodia

US retail multinational Walmart will increase orders of Cambodian garments and footwear products in the upcoming year and will also start buying fruits, food products, and electronics. The remarks were made by Anbinh Phan, director of Walmart’s Global Government Affairs, in a virtual meeting with Ith Samheng, Minister of Labor and Vocational Training, yesterday.

The American retail giant’s remarks have been significant considering that Cambodia resumed its socio-economic activities, pushing a full production chain in the industry sector. The two sides discussed the purchase orders on Cambodia-made products which contribute to enhancing job creation and people’s living as well as the development of the job, and vocational training sector in the Kingdom.

Phan appreciated Cambodia for effectively handling the Covid-19 situation. “The Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training, as well as the Royal Government of Cambodia, has paid much attention to better working condition enhancement, especially managing and preventing the spread of Covid-19, ensuring the sustainability of the production chain and export of Cambodian products abroad,” Phan said.
