A group from the Thai business community in Cambodia has urged the government to crack down on those selling counterfeits of products made in Thailand in the kingdom.
The call on Thursday came during a workshop on Countering Counterfeit Products jointly organised by the Thai embassy in Phnom Penh and Thai Business Council in Cambodia (TBCC) in collaboration with the Interior Ministry’s Counter Counterfeit Committee (CCCC).

The Thai business community in Cambodia has noticed that imitations of some of their products are being distributed in the market, the Khmer Times reported on Monday.
Ambassador to Cambodia Panyarak Poolthup said the workshop was aimed at raising awareness on rules and regulation against anti-fake goods with the help of CCCC.
“This workshop is very important and timely so that we can work closely with the CCCC to help identify the proper channels to counter counterfeit products,” he told a group of reporters after the event.
“We have received inputs from Thai businesspeople that we should organise this kind of workshop with the CCCC’s help to provide information on regulations aimed to combat fake goods,” the ambassador said. “They [Thai businesspeople] have found some imitations of Thai products in the market, so they need both the Cambodian and Thailand governments to tackle this problem.”
