The Ministry of National Defence (MOND) officially initiated the groundbreaking ceremony for a visionary project—the construction of a new 9-storey General Command building spanning over 74 hectares in the Boeung Ta Mok (Kob Srov) area, located in Sangkat Kork Rokar, Khan Prek Pnov, Phnom Penh. The auspicious ceremony, presided over by HE General Tea Seiha, Deputy Prime Minister, and Minister of National Defence, took place on 25 January 2024.

The forthcoming structure is designed to encompass three key zones, with the first dedicated to a meticulously planned park and the majestic 9-storey administrative building. Notably, the complex will feature a spacious auditorium capable of accommodating an impressive 2,145 seats across three floors.

Architecturally significant, the building will blend traditional Khmer design elements with modern aesthetics. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the structure will integrate essential technological components, including a robust power supply network, data infrastructure, and a comprehensive communication system. These features are poised to seamlessly support the day-to-day administrative tasks of the ministry.

During the ceremony, HE Tea Seiha articulated that the construction of the General Command building represents a strategic move towards enhancing work efficiency. Emphasising the importance of modernising military infrastructure, he highlighted its pivotal role in organising and fortifying the ministry’s operations. The project signifies a commitment to creating a conducive and contemporary work environment, reflecting the ministry’s dedication to efficient management and the delineation of roles and responsibilities among its units.
