His Majesty Norodom Sihamoni's presence in Beijing will give courage and strength our Cambodian athletes. I hope our athletes will bring home many gold medals so we can cheer in the streets like Preah Vihear.

It is a good time our King visits and shows supports to our big brother China.

I am still happy to see that our King went to visit our Preah Viheah, and saw the King hugged his poor people and gave them love and support. It showed that our Khmer King knows that Preah Viheah always Khmers.

Orkun Your Majesty
