CMF:

On August 22, 2024, I announced the establishment of the “Border Infrastructure Fund,” with a primary focus on the construction of the border ring road. Commencing on August 26, 2024, the fund team will begin accepting voluntary contributions from Cambodian citizens, both within the country and abroad.

The “Border Infrastructure Fund with a focus on the construction of the border ring road” donation drive will conclude on October 31, 2024. The initiative garnered widespread support from Cambodians from all walks of life, both within the country and abroad. A total of 720,105 individuals contributed to the fund, raising a combined amount of 32,952,442,044 Riels and 18,729,998 USD (approximately 26,967,609 USD).

The donations will be utilized for the construction of a border ring road. To ensure appropriate, transparent, and focused budget management, a task force will be established to manage the Border Infrastructure Fund, with a primary focus on the construction of the border ring road. His Excellency General Kim Bunthan, Minister Delegate to the Prime Minister and Deputy Director of the Cabinet of Prime Minister, will lead this task force. Furthermore, a press conference will be held on Friday, November 1, 2024, where the Working Group will present a comprehensive plan outlining the utilization of funds for the construction of the border ring road.

I am delighted to inform you that our foundation has garnered tremendous support from esteemed individuals, including the King, Queen, dignitaries, leaders, monks, government officials, members of the Armed Forces, educators, students, workers, entrepreneurs, farmers, and Cambodians from all walks of life, both within the country and abroad. This outpouring of support reflects the spirit of Khmer national unity and is deeply appreciated.

I extend my deepest gratitude to esteemed monks, Your Majesties the King and Queen, Samdech, Your Excellency, Lok Chumteav, distinguished guests, grandparents, uncles/aunties, and fellow citizens, for your invaluable contributions. Your unwavering commitment and patriotic spirit are truly commendable. As we strive to build, defend, and develop our beloved nation of Cambodia, your sacrifices in the National Movement are highly appreciated. Together, let us uphold the principles of people’s defense and safeguard our homeland in all circumstances.
