Phnom Penh: On October 1, 2026, His Excellency Lieutenant General Chev Hak, Deputy National Police Commissioner, representing His Excellency General Sar Thet, National Police Commissioner, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on cooperation in disaster risk reduction with Mr. Park Woohee, Director of the Go&Do Social Welfare Organization of the Republic of Korea, at the Ministry of Interior headquarters.
This MOU is aimed at supporting United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11, which seeks to make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. The agreement seeks cooperation between the National Police Commissariat of Cambodia’s Ministry of Interior and the Go&Do Social Welfare Organization to reduce social and economic impacts on poor and vulnerable citizens and to strengthen awareness and exchange on disaster response and safety among the Cambodian people. The agreement also focuses on implementing various projects, including: “Providing fire trucks free of charge to developing countries” and “Firefighting technology training.”
This objective aligns with SDG 11, which was established to reduce deaths, injuries, and direct economic damage caused by disasters, with a focus on protecting poor and vulnerable citizens. The implementation will also include numerous activities to strengthen the capacity and awareness of the Cambodian people.
It should be recalled that previously the National Police Commissariat received five fire trucks, two ambulances, 100 sets of firefighting uniforms, and 20,000 sets of chemical protective suits from the Government of the Republic of Korea through the Go&Do (NGO) organization, to support forces in firefighting operations and to assist citizens in a timely manner when they face fire-related incidents, particularly contributing to the protection of lives, property, the environment, public order and security, and social safety.
