During the ceremony to hand over copies of the Constitution to be placed in all 25 capitals and provinces on June 29, 2026, Mr. Hy Sophea, Chairman of the Constitutional Council, said that the copies of the Constitution are a symbol of the Constitution Palace, a sacred monument of law, which will help to inspire the spirit of civil servants to play an exemplary role in respecting and implementing the law, as well as becoming a heritage that benefits the study of legal history, art, culture, and tradition.
He said that in conclusion, the construction of a constitutional monument, namely the Constitution Palace, the establishment of a cultural institution, namely the ceremony of respecting the Constitution, and the construction of a memorial, namely the copy of the Constitution in the capital and provinces. All of this truly demonstrates the respect for the achievements of our ancestors and the national pride in achieving the glorious constitutional achievements.
To help the Capital City Hall and all provinces organize a better and more glorious celebration of the Constitution and to make the vision of building the Constitution Monument known to the capital and all provinces, the Constitutional Council has assigned Architect Dr. Ly Rasmey, the architect leading the construction of the Constitution Monument, to make a copy of the original Constitution Pillar, made of pure bronze, with a diameter of 17 centimeters at the base and a height of 36 centimeters.
