Construction of the new building of the Cambodian National Assembly has been finished and it will be officially unveiled on Saturday, senior lawmaker said in Phnom Penh on Monday.
"That day will be a historic day for the Cambodian people," said Chhem Yeam, Chairman of the Banking, Finance and Audition Committee of the assembly.
Cambodian King Norodom Sihamoni will preside over the ceremony, he said.
Parliamentary heads of three neighboring countries, namely Laos, Vietnam and Thailand, together with senior delegations from other countries, are invited to attend the event, he said.
So far, China has provided computers and printers, Vietnam x-ray machine and Japan office materials to greet the inauguration of the new mansion, he added.
On Monday, the contractor handed over the pure Khmer-style building to the assembly, after five years of construction.
The 300-room mansion is built on a two-hectare land at the cost of 26.7 million U.S. dollars. It stands beside the Mekong River, next to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Cambodia in the heart of Phnom Penh.

That not fair to prince Ranarith he should allow at least one day to come to open this place!
CPP spent 26.7 million dollars to build this costly parliament, but can't afford to buy x-ray, computers, and office supplies. Might be 1/3 of the budget is in Chhem Yeam's pocket.
To 3:51AM! You are right!
It is like after building a house and can't afford to buy the furniture for the house such toilet, bed, sofa, curtain,...what kind a fuck up house is that?
