Prime Minister Hun Sen on Wednesday offered an open door to Prince Norodom Ranariddh to return to Cambodia for Pchum Ben, the festival honoring the dead.
"I want him to come for Pchum Ben," Hun Sen said in a public speech.
Prince Ranariddh has accepted the results of July's election and supported the quick formation of a new government, Hun Sen said.
"He's been easy on me, so I am easy on him," Hun Sen said.
The prince faces an 18-month prison sentence if he returns from self-imposed exile, but government spokesman Khieu Kanharith said Wednesday the courts would suspend his guilty verdict, on breach of trust charges.
Court officials could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
According to the law, Hun Sen must request a suspended sentence to King Norodom Sihamoni, said Long Phal, secretary of state for the Ministry of Justice.
Khieu Kanahirth said Hun Sen has not yet made such a request.
Prince Ranariddh could not be reached for comment.
Norodom Ranariddh Party spokesman Suth Dina said the prince will return to Cambodia at the end of September.
Hun Sen said he would give two National Assembly committee seats to members of the Norodom Ranariddh Party.

Welcome home, Prince Ranarith. It's time to fight the Siam head on. Our unification will prevail over our stupid neighbor Siam. Khmers must join hands and fight hard. Jeyo Khmer.
Yuon invaded farm lands and khmer systems in the countrywide and even KING ,prince or pricess also bow his head to lick HUN SEN 's foot step .so right now only two less remain strongly stance to fight our khmer right to our motherland in our khmer soul .we truly believed khmer must raise up one day coming.
Yeah,. the Underdog Deadman is coming. If I know when when and where exactly he come, I will prepare to Kub Bay Ben for him.
Sounds like 6:44 is extremely jealous at PM Hun Sen because he's nothing but an idiotic loser, hahaha, LOL, hahaha ....
Get lost, Fool!
Hun Sen will say:
"Sva Kum Kuon!"
"Well Khammm! Gnanh-Gnagh!"
As soon as his return, he will lose more dignity.
everyone can imagine that under such sarcastic word from Mr Hun Sen, will he gain more power? He will be seen as powerless person, and begging for Hun Sen's mercy.
I think he is willing to accept this trap and losing out his chance for politic completely from that time on.
can't leave him out to the possibility that Peking can make use of him...
Rannarith has lost all of his respect when he ran off with his staff's wife, Paula. I think that's her name. Yeah, she was still married at the time and so was he. What a disgraceful thing to do. Plenty of women out there, and he has to take someone's else wife. So welcome back to a country who no longer bow to u. Or have they ever???? You're as good as a commoner.
Why this ah CHKE DOG thick face PHD in Law come back again?
Stay in France and " lecture your French students" at Aix Lachapelle who lack good profeessors like you.
A CHKE dog useless PHD!
From a student in PPenh
I am a CPP but I am royalist. I respect the royal family and the Kings, but some princes are not respectable. Thomico is a crazy man and PhD in law Ranaridh is a Thok Teap, a DOG.
Another pathetic loser 4:55AM. A Khmer like you make a country weak and vulnerable to foreign invaders by siding with loser leader like ranaridh. Wake up you SHIT BRAIN.
Asshole Ranaridh comes to get BAI BEN follow his BOSS. It is the result of the dog that listening to the owner.
Can we pitch in some money to buy banana to feed flat stomach king kong? Oh poor king kong.
Watch out opposition parties! Hun Sen is dispatching his attack dog.

You fucking head is running the country like a fucking monster in a legen!
You mother fucker communist, dictator, may lightning strike you soon!
Like father Like son.
What we need is more people like Ranarith who can see things clearly and able to help building Cambodia.
I hope PM will help to get him a pardon from HM Sihamoni!
Congratulation to Samdech Decho Hun Sen for having his name in the new 2007 Britainica book.
However, please check the content again! I feel so pity to Hun Sen for leaving such name in the World History.
In 2000, he said he wanted to stay in power for 10 more years.
On September 17, 2008, he said that he is still strong at 2013 and he will continue forever.
Imagine, how would Britainnica Encyclopeadia will describe Hun Sen, then?
