BRATISLAVA, Slovakia Cambodia's king Norodom Sihamoni and Slovak President Ivan Gasparovic pledged Monday to strengthen relations between their two countries.
"My greatest wish is that my trip to Bratislava helps to develop friendly relations between the Slovak Republic and the Cambodian Kingdom," Sihamoni said after meeting with Gasparovic in the Slovak capital Monday.
The 53-year-old king spent most of his childhood and early adult life in Europe. He attended high school and then studied ballet and classical music at Prague's Academy of Performing Arts during his 1962-1975 stay.
Prague then was the capital of Czechoslovakia, a country that peacefully split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia in 1993.
Sihamoni, who arrived in Bratislava from Prague on Sunday, was also scheduled to meet with Prime Minister Robert Fico, parliamentary speaker Pavol Paska, and Bratislava Mayor Andrej Durkovsky during his visit.
