The Kiri Post quoted Larsen as saying, “And, importing low-cost natural gas to Cambodia, which not only contributes to Cambodia's economic growth, but also contributes significantly to the development of relations between the two countries.”

Hun Sen further noted on social media that he was “pleased and supported Chris Larsen in finding new opportunities to export solar panels from Cambodia to the United States.” He also emphasized that Cambodia does not subsidize private enterprises for export purposes, adding that this policy helps the country comply with World Trade Organization rules.

洪森在社群媒體上進一步指出，他「很高興並支持克里斯·拉森尋找從柬埔寨向美國出口太陽能電池板的新機會」。他也強調，柬埔寨不會為出口目的補貼私人企業，並補充說這項政策有助於該國遵守世界貿易組織規則。
