Sultan of Brunei, Haji Hassanal Bolkiah, was scheduled to finish a hectic first day of an official visit to Cambodia Thursday with a state banquet hosted by King Norodom Sihamoni at the Royal Palace.
After arriving late Wednesday evening, the sultan spent much of the day at the palace, as well as meeting with Prime Minister Hun Sen, Senate chief Chea Sim and National Assembly leader Heng Samrin and attending an official ceremony at the capital's Independence Monument, according to his official schedule.
He is scheduled to view a military parade at Kambol, just outside the capital, Friday before traveling to the northern city of Siem Reap for a tour of the Angkor Wat temple complex and a visit to a de-mining project.
Diplomatic sources have said that oil is on the agenda for talks during the visit. Cambodia has recently discussed importing crude oil from Brunei, the third largest producer in the region, and is expecting to begin its own oil production by 2010.
Hun Sen is the longest serving elected leader in Asia. The sultan is the longest serving government leader. Both nations are members of the Association of South East Asian Nations.
The sultan is scheduled to end his visit Saturday.
