Dr Chheang Vannarith, President of AVI, sharing his views at the conference organised by CCIEE. The conference focuses on China--ASEAN economic relations, Belt and Road Initiative, and regional cooperation to realise a community of shared future. He argues that to improve the quality and green BRI projects, Chinese companies (both state-owned and private enterprises) need to implement ESG standards (Environmental, Social and Governance), further engage the local community in project design and implementation. He is optimistic that China will earn more trust and support from the region if the quality of Chinese investments can be improved.
