Cambodia: India, Cambodia step closer to bilateral treaty to protect investments

Fri, 29 July 2016 – India’s cabinet approved a new bilateral investment treaty (BIT) with Cambodia yesterday that is designed to provide mutual protections for investors of each company, the Indian government said in a press release.
