The Lancang-Mekong Primary School, the fifth primary school built under the auspices of the CCICE, is located in the Muslim neighborhood of Mondulkiri Province, and the students are mainly Muslim. In the future, it is planned to build a sixth primary school in partnership with BCEF. The inauguration and handover ceremony of the Lancang-Mekong Primary School attracted a lot of attention from all walks of life in the Kingdom of Cambodia, and was promptly covered by TVK as well as many media outlets such as Facebook.
