The Koh Kong Win-Win Policy Memorial was officially inaugurated on the morning of May 30 after six years of construction. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defence General Tea Seiha presided over the ceremony.
The report said more than 6,300 Cambodian and international guests, government officials, members of the armed forces, residents and students attended. Associated celebrations included a parade by the Cambodian motor-sport federation, a vehicle exhibition, a trade fair, arts and music performances, and international friendly Kun Khmer bouts.
The memorial was built to communicate the principles of the Win-Win Policy initiated by Hun Sen, Cambodia’s Acting Head of State at the time of the inauguration. Its architecture and historical sculptures are intended to convey the significance of peace.
The report presents the period from 1998 to 2026 as 28 years of peace associated with the Win-Win Policy and says the memorial is intended to help the public understand that historical account and the value placed on peace.
According to the report, the memorial stands on a 216-hectare site in Smach Mean Chey sangkat, Khemarakphumint city, Koh Kong province. It is 47 metres high and is described as measuring 66 metres along each of its four sides. Figures surrounding the lower part include lions, naga, three-headed elephants, garuda and three-headed swans.
The report says construction was funded entirely by donations from benefactors and did not use the national budget.
