The Cambodia Travel Goods and Leather Association (CTLA), a non-profit body supporting businesses in the bag, luggage and leather manufacturing industry, was launched recently in Phnom Penh. Deputy prime minister Men Sam An told the inauguration ceremony that production and exports are by and large exhibiting ‘positive signs’ across all sectors.

Growth is driving job creation, raising incomes for households and stimulating the economy, he said.

“On behalf of the Royal Government of Cambodia, I would like to support the establishment of this association which will act as an intermediary supporting and cooperating with the government and private institutions, both inside and outside the country, to help promote the growth of the leather and bag sector,” the deputy prime minister was quoted as saying by Cambodian media reports.

The minister also urged the association to be active in social work and humanitarian activities and contribute to the government’s effort in helping the poor, the needy and victims of natural disasters.

Four memoranda of understanding (MoUs) were also signed at the inaugural event. The first MoU was between CTLA and the Cambodia Chamber of Commerce (CCC) on cooperation on promoting travel goods and leather in Cambodia. The second was between the Cambodia Footwear Association (CFA) and CCC on cooperation on promoting the footwear industry.

CTLA signed an MoU with Singapore Cambodia International Academy (SCIA), appointing the latter as a training institution for CTLA members’ workforce.

Under this, SCIA will collaborate with CTLA to offer training in two areas—technical training, equipping and certifying the members with skills to adhere to the standards set by the ministry of labour and vocational training and International Labour Organisation, and management training for improving factory productivity and efficiency.

The fourth MoU between CTLA and Huawei Technologies (Cambodia) Co. Ltd. was on cooperation on green and smart campus in Cambodia.
