PHNOM PENH, Oct. 8 (Xinhua) -- Cambodian officials have confirmed that Prime Minister Hun Sen plans to visit retired King Norodom Sihanouk in Beijing to celebrate the King Father's birthday on Oct. 31, national media reported Wednesday.
Hun Sen is scheduled to attend the Asia-Europe meeting in Beijing on Oct. 24 and 25 on his first international tour since he was sworn in as prime minister following his Cambodian People's Party (CPP)'s victory in the July 27 general election, the Phnom Penh Post said.
"I am going to ask to meet the King Father to wish him a happy birthday and celebrate with him and the monks," the prime minister said last week.
Cheam Yeap, a member of the CPP's Central Committee, told the Post that Hun Sen would also take the opportunity to update the King Father, who since August has been in Beijing where he maintains a residence, about the situation in the country.
The King Father recently congratulated Hun Sen on his re-election as the country's prime minister in a statement posted on his website, adding that Hun Sen is a leader who has contributed positively to both the national and international community.

for some of us readers out there, the word "strongman" isn't always a bad connotation. in a country and political situation, given the KR turmoil, etc..., it is good to have a strongman in power because he can keep everyone in check. one has got to understand the circumstance in cambodia before jumping off to a wrong or gullible conclusion. a leader can't be lenient all the time, especially in time of crisis, etc... show you can do better, then you can take that position as well in the election. god bless cambodia.
look at the case scenario in thailand right now, their gov't is so lame or weak that they can't even control the unruly pad thugs who seems to protest everything and anything, nonstop! now, the thailand gov't needs a strongman to bring chaos in their country back to their former happy time. god bless cambodia.
Wow! I didn't know that Beijing has their own King. Long lives the King and make sure don't come to Srok Khmer!!
I think the strongman run the country far better than Sihanouk.
The strongman run the country longer, better, saffer, more developpers 2000 times growing than Sihanouk era. We don't have to run and hide by Sihanouk ganges anymore. We have more villars more cars, motoes, than Sihanouk. Sihanouk ran the country dry to ground and ran away from the country and hide himself in Peking and N.Kokea.
