Amid a grand ceremony, Cambodia marked a monumental moment in its development journey, as the new US$60 million Ministry of Interior building was officially inaugurated. Samdech Hun Manet, Prime Minister of Cambodia, presided at the opening on 6 November 2023, reflecting the nation’s commitment to progress.

The new edifice proudly stands on the historic site along Norodom Street in Tonle Bassac, Chamkarmon, Phnom Penh. A striking architectural marvel, this 9-story building spans an impressive area of 105,545 square meters and accommodates a capacious parking lot for up to 330 vehicles.
