The construction of the new administrative building of the Cambodian National Assembly began in late 2021, with a total investment of 25 million USD provided by the Vietnamese Government as a non-refundable aid. The 12-storey building is designed in a modern Khmer architectural style, equipped with a synchronous and convenient infrastructure system. The project was inaugurated on November 21, 2024, chaired by President of the Cambodian National Assembly Samdech Khuon Sudary and President of the Vietnamese National Assembly Tran Thanh Man .

The building will be the headquarters of the National Assembly Secretariat, specialized committees and a hall serving agenda activities, contributing to improving the operational efficiency of the Cambodian legislature in the new period.

According to Vietnam News Agency, speaking at the ceremony, Secretary General of the Cambodian National Assembly Leng Peng Long said that the new administrative building is a meaningful gift from the Party, State and people of Vietnam to the National Assembly and people of Cambodia. This is a symbol of the special, noble and invaluable friendship between the two neighboring countries. Mr. Leng Peng Long affirmed that the project is a clear demonstration of the spirit of sincere cooperation, mutual respect and constant support between the two peoples, built on the principles of respect for independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity.
