Cambodian king to visit Switzerland

Phnom Penh - Cambodia's King Norodom Sihamoni is to pay a five-day official visit to Switzerland, the Royal Palace said Sunday. King Sihamoni will fly out of the Cambodian capital Monday to make the visit - a reciprocal visit after Swiss President Micheline Calmy-Rey visited Cambodia in March, according to an official schedule obtained from a palace source.

Besides meeting with Calmy-Rey during his trip, the king is also scheduled to attend a gala in honour of the Swiss-owned Kantha Bopha children's hospitals, which treat thousands of Cambodian children for free each year and provide some of the only affordable, quality health care for children in the impoverished nation, which is still struggling to recover from a 30-year civil war.

A former Cambodian cultural ambassador to UNESCO in Paris, King Sihamoni will also attend a ballet performance in Zurich in his honour, according to the schedule.

He will leave Switzerland on June 1 for Paris, where he will undergo routine medical checkups for two weeks, a palace source said.

King Sihamoni ascended the throne in 2004 after his father, King Norodom Sihanouk, who is now 84, abdicated, citing age and declining health.
