PHNOM PENH: Thursday 1 September 2022, Overseas Cambodian Investment Corporation welcomed Malaysia Retail Chain Association MRCA delegates and signed a Memorandum of Understanding; a move that is set to be a boost for OCIC’s existing clients and investors base for its various line of business which includes shopping centers, aviation, satellite city development, real estate development, construction and construction supplies, hotels and resorts, education, agriculture, leisure and culture, medical, newspaper and printing.
