TOKYO -- A Cambodian industrial park that has long served as a base for Japanese and Chinese manufacturers is looking to diversify as shifts in global supply chains create opportunities for the Southeast Asian country to attract more companies.

The Phnom Penh Special Economic Zone in the capital houses more than 90 tenants from 15 countries in an area of 3.57 square kilometers. It is one of Cambodia's leading industrial parks, along with a 10-sq.-km Chinese industrial park in Sihanoukville.
