Cambodia's new King Norodom Sihamoni and his parents, the former King Norodom Sihanouk and Queen Monineath arrived home on Wednesday from Beijing.
Government officials, members of the National Assembly and the Senate, Prime Minister Hun Sen, and Speaker of the parliament Prince Norodom Ranariddh welcomed King Sihamoni and his parents at the airport.
Sihamoni, 51, was selected new king of Cambodia last Thursday by the nine-member Throne Council, a week after his father Norodom Sihanouk announced his retirement in Beijing, citing health reasons.
The outgoing 81-year-old King Sihanouk has said that he would stay close to and advise his son Sihamoni to perform his royal duties as king of Cambodia in serving the interests of the nation, people, religion, and humanitarian issues.
Sihamoni has, recently, flown to China to join his parents where they have undergone medical treatment since earlier this year. He flew directly from France after he had finished his assignment as Cambodia's Ambassador to UNESCO.
