The agreement was signed by Oknha Dr. Pung Carolyne, Vice Chairperson of OCIC, and
Caroline Vik, Chief Policy Officer of DFC.

"Today marks an important milestone for Techo International Airport," said Oknha
Dr. Pung Carolyne, Vice Chairperson of OCIC. "The proposed financing from DFC reflects
confidence in Cambodia’s economic future and in the airport’s role as a gateway 
for trade, tourism, investment, and regional connectivity. It also demonstrates 
the project’s commitment to international standards and its long-term value to the
country’s development."

"You are just the type of partner we’re looking for in Cambodia and around the world,"
said Caroline Vik, Chief Policy Officer of DFC. "We hope this is the first of many
projects that we do together."

Beyond the proposed financing, the Letter of Intent underscores the project’s alignment
with the governance, transparency, environmental, and social standards expected 
by leading international development finance institutions. The agreement is expected
to further strengthen investor confidence in Cambodia’s infrastructure sector and
reinforce the country’s attractiveness as a destination for long-term investment.

Techo International Airport has also gained international recognition for its design
and operational vision. It was recently recognized by Skytrax, one of the aviation
industry’s leading airport rating organizations, and named among the world’s most
beautiful airports by Prix Versailles. These distinctions highlight the airport’s
growing profile as a major regional aviation hub and a landmark infrastructure project
designed to support Cambodia’s connectivity and economic growth for decades to come.

The DFC financing also builds on OCIC’s growing engagement with American institutions
and companies, including the U.S. Embassy in Cambodia, the American Chamber of Commerce
in Cambodia, and leading U.S. firms such as General Electric, OTIS, Caterpillar,
CISCO, and Ford across mobility, engineering, and infrastructure-related sectors.

The financing reflects growing economic cooperation between Cambodia and the United
States, particularly in sectors such as aviation, infrastructure, logistics, trade,
and investment. As Cambodia expands its connectivity with regional and global markets,
partnerships such as this will play an important role in supporting sustainable 
economic growth, attracting international investment, and strengthening commercial
ties between the two countries.
