Cambodian King Norodom Sihamoni

Cambodian King Norodom Sihamoni, along with his mother, former Queen Norodom Monineath, arrived here on Sunday after spending over a month in Beijing for a routine medical checkup.

At the Phnom Penh International Airport, the royal family was welcomed by Senate President Say Chhum, National Assembly President Heng Samrin, and Prime Minister Hun Sen's wife Bun Rany as well as Chinese Ambassador to Cambodia Bu Jianguo.

During his stay in Beijing, besides a medical checkup, the king had met with Chinese President Xi Jinping and attended the commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War on Sept. 3.

Sihamoni, 62, usually has his health checked up in Beijing once in every six months.
