PHNOM PENH (Kyodo) -- The prime minister of Cambodia's former colonial protector will make an official visit early next month, the first visit by a French leader in nearly two decades, Cambodia's Foreign Ministry said Wednesday.
Francois Fillon will make a two-day visit to Cambodia on July 2 and 3, it said.
The last French leader to visit the former colony was then President Francois Mitterrand in 1993.
Fillon is to attend a ceremony marking the restoration of Baphuon Temple in Siem Reap Province and visit other Angkor temples.
His trip also comes barely three months after Air France began flights to Phnom Penh after a 37-year hiatus.
Cambodia was a French protectorate for 90 years until it claimed independence in 1953.
Fillon will meet with Cambodia's King Norodom Sihamoni and his father, retired King Norodom Sihanouk, as well as Prime Minister Hun Sen and other leaders.

Le drame Cambodgien reste toujours sans explication,car les khmers ne savent toujours pas quel en était exactement la cause.Ils ne peuvent pas distinguer entre les libérateurs et les agresseurs).

former colonial protector?
Cambodia and the world was fooled to believe in anything that France was something of a protector.
France oppressed the Khmer as much as the Yuon.
Kampuchea Krom is an example where France is so pleased where it has been using Yuon in oppressing Khmer people.
Everything seed sowed by France to Khmer is destructive.
mr. prime minister of france, please encourage french companies to invest in cambodia! cambodia and khmer people deserve better after all that sufferings, losses, etc during the past 30 years or so! please help to make a real, lasting difference with french legacy and friendship in cambodia. thank you and god bless france and cambodia.
france, please stop play favoritism with youn over khmer people! khmer people do not like that, really! because in the past, when you colonized cambodia, your french governor favored viet/youn people over khmer people, thus france ended up signing and giving everything to viet/youn when france left indochina back then, so, please, this time, no more colony nor favoritism toward youn again over khmer people, ok! please treat cambodia and khmer people with equal respect, no favoritism, please! please stop denying cambodia and khmer people the education, the development, etc from france! merci.
