During the meeting and study visit, the Cambodian delegation met with Alfredo E. Pascual, Secretary of Trade and Industry of Philippines, and Emmie Liza Perez-Chiong, head of the Philippine International Trading Corporation (PITC).
The two sides agreed to study the possibility of re-signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on rice trade under state mechanisms which is expected to be signed soon.
