TOKYO -- Top Japanese retailer Aeon will offer international logistics services in Cambodia, drawn by Southeast Asia's rising trade and cross-border e-commerce as the company seeks new growth drivers.

Subsidiary Aeon Mall plans to build a roughly 30,000-sq.-meter logistics center in a special economic zone near the southern port of Sihanoukville. It aims to launch the business in fiscal 2023, offering import storage, customs clearance and support for cross-border online retail.
