The Sihanoukville Special Economic Zone in Cambodia is a model project for China-Cambodia practical cooperation along the Belt and Road. Since the Belt and Road Initiative was proposed ten years ago, Sihanoukville Special Economic Zone has developed vigorously and has become the locomotive of Sihanoukville’s economic development and the golden rice bowl for local people to work hard to get rich.

Sihanoukville is built on the port, and Sihanoukville Port is the only deep-water seaport in Cambodia, which undertakes 90% of Cambodia's import and export shipping. In the suburbs of Westport, especially near the port, there are many industrial parks, also known as special economic zones. At present, the Sihanoukville Special Economic Zone has introduced nearly 200 enterprises from countries and regions such as China, Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States, providing employment for nearly 30,000 people, and the industrial output value has contributed more than 50% to the economy of Sihanoukville.
