On
two consecutive days 26 and 27 May 2023, as the developer of the Royal Group
Phnom Penh Special Economic Zone (RGPPSEZ), we felt highly honored to welcome
the visit of Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo HUN SEN, Prime minister of the
Kingdom of Cambodia, to our zone.
This
2-day visit was mainly organized by the Ministry of Labor and Vocational
Training (MoLVT) for Samdech Prime Minister to meet and learn about the
wellbeing and challenges faced by workers in our zone.
On
26 May 2023, approximately 19,000 workers from Marvel Garment Co., Ltd., a
giant garment manufacturer in RGPPSEZ, happily attended to meet and greet
Samdech Prime Minister. And on 27 May 2023, around 19,000 more workers from the
other 81 manufacturing companies in the zone, also had a chance to do the same.
This
similar event has been organized many times throughout the years even before
the pandemic situation, because Samdech Prime Minister has always put his attention
and focus on the wellbeing, the living and working conditions of Cambodian
workers throughout the country.
In
his speech, Samdech Prime Minister introduced various new improvement in
benefits to the workers such as additional financial support to pregnant women
until 2 years after delivery, and stated some recommendations to facilitate the
investment environment, to promote benefits and social protection to workers
etc.
This
was the 7th and 8th visit in a row. We all felt honored
and excited to learn that Samdech Prime Minister always pays attention to our
zone and the workers here. We look forward to the next chance of meeting and
greeting Samdech Prime Minister again. Until then, we will keep trying our best
to develop and improve our zone more and more to make Samdech Prime Minister
proud.
