Ripple 董事长 Chris Larsen 会见柬埔寨首相 Hun Manet，探讨可再生能源合作伙伴关系

Ripple 执行主席 Chris Larsen 及其配偶高棉佛教基金会创始人 Lyna Lam 在金边和平宫会见了柬埔寨首相洪马内，探讨了潜在的合作伙伴关系，重点是通过生产扩大柬埔寨的可再生能源行业出口到美国的太阳能电池板。

Chris Larsen, Executive Chairman of Ripple, and his wife Lyna Lam, Founder of the Khmer Buddhist Foundation, met with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet at the Peace Palace in Phnom Penh to discuss a potential partnership aimed at boosting Cambodia's renewable energy sector through the production of solar panels for export to the United States.

Ripple 执行主席 Chris Larsen 及其妻子高棉佛教基金会创始人 Lyna Lam 在金边和平宫会见了柬埔寨首相洪马内，讨论了旨在通过生产促进柬埔寨可再生能源行业发展的潜在合作伙伴关系出口到美国的太阳能电池板。

According to a report by the Khmer Times, Prime Minister Hun Manet welcomed Larsen's proposal, highlighting that it aligns with Cambodia's goal of increasing its renewable energy usage to 70% by 2030, up from the current 62%. “Chris Larsen's interest in renewable energy cooperation […] is in line with the Royal Government's priority goal of promoting the use of renewable energy to 70% by 2030,” Hun Manet was quoted as saying.

据《高棉时报》报道，洪马内总理对拉森的提议表示欢迎，并强调该提议符合柬埔寨的目标，即到 2030 年将可再生能源使用率从目前的 62% 提高到 70%。 “克里斯·拉森 (Chris Larsen) 对可再生能源合作的兴趣 [...] 符合王国政府的优先目标，即到 2030 年将可再生能源的使用率提高到 70%，”洪马内 (Hun Manet) 表示。

During the meeting, Larsen and Lam also shared other initiatives, such as their efforts to preserve Cambodian culture and tradition in the United States through temple-building, particularly in San Francisco, and their plans to expand educational opportunities for children in rural areas of Cambodia. Prime Minister Hun Manet expressed support for their charitable activities, stating that their networking in Cambodia would help strengthen relations between both Cambodian and American communities and the private sectors of the two countries.

会议期间，拉森和林郑月娥还分享了其他举措，例如他们通过修建寺庙（特别是在旧金山）在美国保护柬埔寨文化和传统的努力，以及扩大柬埔寨农村地区儿童教育机会的计划。洪马内总理表示支持他们的慈善活动，并表示他们在柬埔寨的网络将有助于加强柬埔寨和美国社区以及两国私营部门之间的关系。

In a separate meeting, former Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, now Senate President, discussed positioning Cambodia as a hub for solar panel exports to the United States and importing low-cost natural gas to support the country's economic growth. 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.”

在另一次会议上，现任参议院议长、柬埔寨前首相洪森讨论了将柬埔寨定位为向美国出口太阳能电池板和进口低成本天然气以支持该国经济增长的枢纽。 《基里邮报》援引拉森的话说，“而且，向柬埔寨进口低成本天然气，不仅有助于柬埔寨经济增长，也为两国关系发展作出重大贡献。”

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.

洪森在社交媒体上进一步指出，他“很高兴并支持克里斯·拉森寻找从柬埔寨向美国出口太阳能电池板的新机会”。他还强调，柬埔寨不会为出口目的补贴私营企业，并补充说这项政策有助于该国遵守世界贸易组织规则。

These meetings follow Cambodia's announcement of a new regulatory framework for digital assets on December 27, 2024, after the National Bank of Cambodia issued a directive on December 26. The new rules permit commercial banks and payment institutions to handle stablecoins—classified as “Category 1” crypto assets—while continuing to ban unbacked cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Financial institutions must now obtain prior approval from the central bank for activities involving stablecoins, such as conversions to fiat and custody services.

继柬埔寨国家银行于 12 月 26 日发布指令后，柬埔寨于 2024 年 12 月 27 日宣布了新的数字资产监管框架。新规则允许商业银行和支付机构处理稳定币——归类为“第一类” ”加密资产——同时继续禁止比特币等无支持的加密货币。金融机构现在必须获得中央银行的事先批准才能进行涉及稳定币的活动，例如转换为法定货币和托管服务。

It's worth noting that Ripple recently launched a new US dollar-backed stablecoin, RLUSD, on December 17, 2024, after receiving final approval from the New York Department of Financial Services on December 10. The stablecoin is fully backed by US dollar deposits, government bonds, and cash equivalents.

值得注意的是，Ripple 在 12 月 10 日获得纽约金融服务部的最终批准后，于 2024 年 12 月 17 日推出了新的美元支持的稳定币 RLUSD。该稳定币完全由美元存款、政府支持债券、现金等价物。

Ripple also has an existing presence in Cambodia: SBI LY HOUR Bank launched the country's first cross-border blockchain transfers via Ripple in May 2021. However, there is no official mention of RLUSD in the meeting agenda.

Ripple 在柬埔寨也有存在：SBI LY HOUR 银行于 2021 年 5 月通过 Ripple 推出了该国首次跨境区块链转账。不过，会议议程中没有正式提及 RLUSD。
