In this regard, the workshop on “Drafting a Commercial Code for Cambodia” will be organized with the participation of all relevant stakeholders in order to review and discuss:
1. The collection of inputs on the report regarding the necessity of drafting a Commercial Code for Cambodia;
2. The determination of the scope of commercial relations to be included in the Code; and
3. The identification of an appropriate drafting methodology that responds to practical needs (Compilation, Consolidation, or Codification).
The meeting was attended by the Deputy Chairman, Deputy Secretaries-General, LRC Legal Specialists, and other relevant stakeholders.
