
The Royal Government of Cambodia should public the information

Cambodia needs more FDI inflow to develop the country, especially

the human resource is not enough for the R&D activities, so Cambodia
needs more expert from other countries.

Royal Government should find more fund related to R&D and provide
enough material for R&D activities.
