On 13 March 2026, the General Secretariat of the National Assembly announced the successful completion of a four-week training course on records and archives management at the National Assembly building.
The course was presented as part of the institution’s continuing effort to strengthen the capacity of civil servants. According to the announcement, the training focused on technical skills for document classification and preservation, understanding of the law on archives and related legal instruments, and preparation for digital archive management in the context of digital administration.
Background
The training course ran for four weeks and concluded on 13 March 2026. It was delivered by experienced specialists and formed part of the 2026 operational plan of the General Department of International Relations, Protocol and Information under the General Secretariat of the National Assembly.
At the closing and certificate presentation ceremony, Dr. Keo Piseth, Acting Deputy Secretary-General and Director of Cabinet to the President of the National Assembly, stated that this was the second completed course among 14 training courses planned for 2026.
Scope of Application
The program applied to officials of the National Assembly Secretariat participating in internal administrative and information management functions. The announcement indicates that the training was intended to improve officials’ technical competency in organizing, classifying, preserving, and managing records and archives in accordance with technical standards and relevant legal requirements.
Key Provisions or Decisions
The announcement identifies three core areas of the training:
- Strengthening technical capacity in the classification, organization, and preservation of documents according to technical standards.
- Improving understanding of the law on archives and related legal instruments to support the safety and confidentiality of national documents.
- Preparing officials for archive management through digital systems as part of the shift toward digital administration.
The statement also links the training program to the National Assembly Secretariat’s broader effort to modernize the institution, improve governance, deepen reform, and expand the use of technology in management.
Implications for Investors, Businesses, or Compliance
This update primarily concerns internal administrative governance rather than a new rule applicable to the private sector. Its reference value lies in documenting institutional efforts to improve records management, archival handling, legal awareness, and digital administrative capacity within the National Assembly Secretariat.
For researchers and compliance observers, the announcement is relevant as evidence of ongoing administrative modernization and staff capacity development in document and archive governance at a core state institution.
