PHNOM PENH (The Phnom Penh Post/Asia News Network): Officials and researchers on June 29 threw their full support behind a master plan to transform the coastal Preah Sihanouk province into a Model Multi-Purpose Special Economic Zone (SEZ) after a new study found that the positives outweighed the negatives in terms of the impact of Sihanoukville’s urban development and socio-economic changes on national economic development.

This consensus was reached at a virtual Policy Talk on “Sihanoukville Urban Development, Socio-Economic Change, and Transformation in the era of Covid-19”, where the Center for Khmer Studies (CKS) presented their latest study.
