Recently, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen attended the commencement ceremony of the upgrading and reconstruction project of Highway 31 and 33 in Cambodia.

Hun Sen once again thanked China for providing substantial assistance to Cambodia's infrastructure construction, and affirmed the outstanding contribution made by Chinese construction machinery enterprises, represented by XCMG, to promoting Cambodia's economic and social development.

Highway 31 and 33 are located in the southwest of Cambodia, connecting provinces and cities such as Chajio, Kampot and Baima. They are important roads along the line connecting the capital Phnom Penh and Vietnam ports. At present, there are more than 20 sets of XCMG road rollers, bulldozers, graders and other equipment involved in the project, and more XCMG equipment will be invested in the construction in the future.

At the commencement ceremony, Hun Sen, Wang Wentian and others successively boarded the complete set of road machinery of XCMG to perform the groundbreaking ceremony.

Hun Sen stressed that in recent years, China has continuously expanded its assistance and investment in Cambodia in roads, water supply, electricity, education and agriculture. Without the help of Chinese friends, Cambodia's infrastructure wouldn’t develop so fast. It is hoped that China will continue to support Cambodia's post epidemic economic recovery and invest in Cambodia as always.

In Cambodia, after years of deep cultivation, XCMG products have played an important role in Cambodia's local infrastructure construction and transportation development including Phnom Penh Morgan Building, Golden Harbor Expressway and others.

XCMG delivered 205 sets of mechanical equipment to Cambodia at the ribbon cutting ceremony of the new building of the Ministry of Public Works and Transport. Now they’re working actively for road maintenance in various regions, promoting Cambodia's traffic construction and improving road quality. XCMG's contribution to local infrastructure construction has been highly praised by Prime Minister Hun Sen.

At present, XCMG has become the Chinese brand with the largest market share of pavement machinery in Cambodia.

The upgrading and reconstruction project of Highway 31 and 33 this time will further complete Cambodia's road network, greatly raises the standards and overall service level of roads in the southwest of Cambodia, promotes the rapid development of the economy of provinces along the line, and improves the living standard of local people.
