PHNOM PENH, Jan. 7 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia's Ministry of Industry, Science, Technology and Innovation (MISTI) has launched seven additional public services online, further enhancing the accessibility, efficiency, and transparency of its service offerings, said a MISTI's press release on Tuesday.
"The transition from traditional to online service delivery underscores MISTI's commitment to modernizing public services and reducing bureaucratic hurdles for citizens and businesses," the news release said.
This latest move included four services on registration of automotive products and spare parts, two services on registration of metrological equipment, and one service on registration of conformity assessment bodies, it added.
These services complemented MISTI's initial suite of online service offerings, launched in 2024, the news release said.
"This expansion represents another step forward in our mission to deliver fast, convenient, and efficient public services," MISTI's Minister Hem Vanndy said. "MISTI will continue to expand our digital platforms by adding more services to improve transparency and accountability while fostering ease of access for all."
With this new addition, MISTI has now moved 15 of its key public services online covering the General Department of Industry, General Department of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Handicraft, Institute of Standards of Cambodia, National Metrology Center of Cambodia, and the General Department of Accreditation, the news release said.
It added that the digital transformation of MISTI's public services supported the government's broader objectives of leveraging technology for enhanced governance and economic growth by streamlining formalization processes, reducing manual procedures, minimizing in-person visits, expediting processing times, and simplifying payments. ■
