The 79th CISM General Assembly and Congress, held from May 12 to 19, 2024 in Dar es Salaam City, Tanzania, has unanimously voted for Cambodia as CISM’s 141st full member.
The good news was shared by Secretary General of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces Football Association Major General Khov Chhay, who led a Cambodian delegation to attend the International Military Sports Council (CISM) assembly and congress upon his return on May 20.
The secretary general considers this another milestone to profile Cambodia internationally.
The membership, he added, will leverage Cambodian army and sport cooperation with other members of CISM, which is one of the largest multi-disciplinary sports organisations in the world.
CISM was established in 1948 and is a sports organisation with a significant contribution to the harmonisation and peace of the world by organising international friendship sports events among the armed forces of its member countries.
