Long-time foreign members of the Cambodian business community said the US-ASEAN Business Forum, held on Friday in Siem Reap, was largely successful in setting the country in the sights of America businesses, but multinational corporations will need more time in the Kingdom before nailing down hard deals.
Last week the US government eased some of the financial and investment sanctions on Myanmar to allow the first new US investment in the country in nearly 15 years, and to broadly authorise the exportation of financial services to Myanmar.
The US State Department website says its change in sanctions policy is aimed at supporting democratic reform and reconciliation efforts while aiding in development that provides benefits to all of Myanmar's people.
