PHNOM PENH, July 28, 2026 (KPT) – Japanese manufacturer MinebeaMitsumi has told Senate President Samdech Techo Hun Sen that the Cambodia‑Thailand border dispute has had no impact on its operations or investment plans, reaffirming confidence in the country’s business environment.

During a courtesy call at the Senate on Tuesday, MinebeaMitsumi CEO Yoshihisa Kainuma said that while border tensions had caused some disruptions to transport and logistics, they had not affected production or business activities.

He said the company remained fully committed to Cambodia and had no concerns about continuing investment despite the dispute.

Kainuma updated Samdech Techo Hun Sen on operations, noting MinebeaMitsumi now runs two manufacturing plants in Cambodia – one in the Phnom Penh Special Economic Zone and another in Pursat province – providing jobs for thousands of workers.

He said the company is also constructing a solar power plant in Pursat, underscoring Cambodia’s reliability as a long‑term investment destination.

Senate spokesman Chea Thyrith said Samdech Techo welcomed the company’s confidence, describing its expansion as a sign of investor trust in Cambodia’s economic stability.

Samdech Techo Hun Sen said he was pleased the border dispute had not affected MinebeaMitsumi’s operations or future plans, adding that its growth demonstrated the resilience of Cambodia’s investment environment.

He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to supporting foreign investors, particularly Japanese businesses, and expressed confidence that Prime Minister Hun Manet’s administration would continue to strengthen the country’s investment climate.
