The handover of the stadium project aided by the Chinese government in Cambodia was completed in September. Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen and Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi attended the handover ceremony.
A reporter from China News Agency visited the stadium a few days ago.

It is located in the northern suburbs of Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia. Become the main venue for the 2023 Southeast Asian Games.
According to reports, the design idea of the stadium comes from Cambodia's rich traditional cultural elements.
With a simple and modern design, traditional elements such as Cambodia's "namaste" and the roof of ancient buildings are integrated into the 99-meter-high herringbone towers at both ends of the stadium.
The herringbone hanging tower pulls up the canopy film above the audience stands through steel cables, like a huge ship raising sails.
At the same time, the overall planning idea of the ancient Angkor Wat moat was introduced to form a circular water surface surrounding the stadium. In the architectural decoration style, the local ethnic characteristics were also fully considered, and the elements of the Cambodian national flower Rongdu flower were integrated.
The Cambodian National Stadium raises its sails like a giant ship and has become the "Ship of Friendship" between China and Cambodia, an image landmark of the mutual connection between the two peoples.
