Cambodian PM urges US to drop tariffs
Prime Minister Hun Sen urged policymakers in Washington to expand its preferential treatment of goods imported from least-developed countries (LDCs) including Cambodia by increasing the amount of goods permitted duty- and quota-free access to the US market.
“Cambodia would like to request that the US provide Generalized System of Preferences to at least 97 per cent of its total commodities, with tariff exemptions and quota-free [access], to LDC member states, in accordance with the previous agreement under the WTO framework,” Hun Sen said during the 3rd ASEAN-US Summit in Kuala Lumpur on 21 November.
