Cambodian king returns home after medical checkup in Beijing

Xinhua, August 17, 2016 Adjust font size:

Cambodian King Norodom Sihamoni and his mother, former Queen Norodom Monineath, returned home on Wednesday after spending more than a month in Beijing for a regular medical checkup.

At the Phnom Penh International Airport, the royal family was welcomed by Senate President Samdech Say Chhum, National Assembly President Samdech Heng Samrin, and Prime Minister Samdech Techo Hun Sen as well as Chinese embassy officials in Cambodia.

During his stay in China, besides a medical checkup, the king paid a 3-day visit to northwest China's Shaanxi Province in early August.

Sihamoni, 63, usually has his health checked up in Beijing twice a year. Enditem
