The monument's central stupa is 108 meters high, a measurement chosen to reflect specific Buddhist and Khmer architectural symbolism.
The base of the monument is shaped like a pentagon, representing the five main strategies of the Win-Win Policy.
The complex spans approximately 8 hectares of land on the outskirts of the capital.
Relief carvings on the exterior walls depict scenes from the Khmer Rouge era through to the peace process.
The site was constructed to mark the 20th anniversary of the national peace achieved in 1998.
The Win-Win Memorial is a massive architectural complex located in the Prek Pnov district of Phnom Penh, inaugurated in 2018 to commemorate the end of the Cambodian Civil War. Designed to represent the success of Prime Minister Hun Sen’s 'Win-Win Policy,' the site celebrates the national reconciliation that concluded decades of conflict. The central structure features a large, ornate stupa-style monument adorned with intricate stone carvings depicting Khmer history and military events. The surrounding grounds include extensive landscaped gardens, reflective pools, and walls inscribed with the names of historical figures. It serves as both a museum and a venue for state ceremonies and public events. The site is a prominent example of contemporary Cambodian political architecture and monumental design.
