Wuxi residents will soon be able to get from Wuxi to Cambodia's beautiful coastline in just a few hours with direct flights to open linking the East China's Jiangsu province city and Sihanoukville, Cambodia on June 23.

The Wuxi Sunan Shuofang International Airport will begin running weekly direct flights to Sihanoukville in Cambodia from June 23.

Earlier in March, the city held an investment promotion conference in Hong Kong, encouraging local enterprises to cooperate with Wuxi counterparts in overseas investment, especially at the Sihanoukville Special Economic Zone (SSEZ) in Cambodia.

The SSEZ is an economic and trade cooperation zone that has seen the settlement of more than 100 global enterprises and helped 14,000 local people gain employment.
