This dialogue is fictional and based on the article.

Chako: Hey Log, what do you mean by saying there’s a shortage of drivers?
Log: Actually, the shortage of drivers in Cambodia has become quite serious. I heard they’re working on developing talent for that.
Chako: Really? How are they training them?
Log: It seems they’re incorporating Japanese traffic rules and educating them to be immediately effective.
Navi: Such efforts are expected to promote the acceptance of foreign workers in Cambodia’s logistics industry.
Chako: I see! So that’s how logistics can become smoother!
Log: Yeah, but it seems there are some opposing voices, so we need to proceed with caution.

Admin’s Note

The efforts to train drivers in Cambodia are very interesting as they reflect changes in the international labor market. While there are various opinions about accepting foreign workers to address the challenges in the logistics industry, developing skilled personnel who can contribute immediately is essential. In particular, I think introducing Japanese-style traffic rules is a very wise approach, considering its compatibility with Cambodian culture. I look forward to seeing how this develops in the future.
