GLA: Connecting China and Cambodia Through Logistics

In her remarks, Grace Sun emphasized that logistics underpins trade, and deeper China-Cambodia economic cooperation requires a more stable, efficient cross-border logistics network. With a global platform spanning over 170 countries and more than 7,000 member enterprises, GLA provides professional logistics coordination for China-Cambodia industrial and supply chain connectivity, helping more enterprises enter the Cambodian market safely and in compliance.

GLA's cooperation with Cambodia has deep roots. In 2019, the 7th GLA Global Logistics Conference was held in Phnom Penh. In May 2026, Cambodia's Under Secretary of State for Public Works and Transport attended the 14th GLA Global Logistics Conference in Shenzhen. From Phnom Penh to Shenzhen, and from Shenzhen to Beijing, GLA has remained committed to advancing practical China-Cambodia cooperation through logistics.

The seminar was a high-level, closed-door event focused on policy interpretation, on-the-ground experience sharing, and direct engagement with senior officials. It served as an effective government-business platform for deepening China-Cambodia economic and trade cooperation.
