King Norodom Sihamoni of Cambodia has begun an official visit to the Czech Republic.
Sihamoni spent 13 years in the former Czechoslovakia as a youngster after he was sent there by his father King Norodom Sihanouk to study ballet. Aged eleven, the then-prince performed in Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker at the Prague National Ballet.
On his arrival in Prague, Sihamoni said: "I am overjoyed to be back in a country which was and always will be my second homeland."
The king’s visit will last for a week and aims to improve relations between Cambodia and the Czech Republic.
Sihamoni is fluent in the language of the European country, a feat described as "truly exceptional" by Czech president Vaclav Klaus.
Prague has long been a hotspot for tourists and millions of people stay at Prague hotels each year. Both the city’s turbulent history and its bustling nightlife attract visitors from across the globe.
