UN chief congratulates Cambodia's new king
The UN chief congratulated Cambodia’s incoming king today, a day after the former ballet dancer was chosen to succeed his ailing father to secure the country’s ancient monarchy for another generation.
Prince Norodom Sihamoni, who has spent much of his life abroad, was named king yesterday and will ascend to the throne later this month for a largely ceremonial role that brings a measure of stability to the war-ravaged and impoverished country of 13 million people.
