Under the document, Cambodia will offer special incentives to Vietnam, which are even higher than those the country has committed to other ASEAN member countries.
Accordingly, Vietnamese goods will be more competitive than products of other countries in the Cambodian market.
Up to 29 Vietnamese products, including milk, cream, cassava starch, meat and rice products, sweets, paint, plastics, paper, porcelains, steel and steel products, will enjoy zero-percent import tariff in Cambodia.
