Project narrative

On April 21, 2014, Chinese Ambassador to Cambodia Bu Jianguo and Cambodia’s Minister of Finance and Economics Ampang Monila signed a letter of exchange for a 56 million RMB grant from the Chinese Government for the project of assisting the Cambodian Westport Vocational and Technical Training Center in Phnom Penh, known as 西港职业技术培训中心项目 in Chinese ("布建国大使与安蓬莫尼拉部长签署西港职业技术培训中心项目立项换文"). The project and formal grant agreement with Cambodia's Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training were approved on September 2, 2015. Construction began on December 10, 2015, and was completed on June 10, 2017. This project is located inside the Sihanoukville Special Economic Zone in Preah Sihanouk Province. The project includes the construction of classrooms, auditoriums, teaching workshops, and offices. After completion, the training center will mainly serve the Sihanoukville Special Economic Zone and the southwestern provinces of Cambodia. It will train a large number of skilled workers for the special zone and the settled enterprises, improve the quality of the local labor force, and improve the employment status of local enterprises ("布建国大使与安蓬莫尼拉部长签署西港职业技术培训中心项目立项换文").
