N. Korea leader offers condolences for Sihanouk

North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un 

SEOUL, (AFP) - North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un expressed condolences at the death Monday of former Cambodian king Norodom Sihanouk, praising him as a "close friend" of Pyongyang.

"I express sincere condolences to the bereaved family and the Cambodian people," Kim said in a message to Sihanouk's son and the current ruler Norodom Sihamoni, according to the North's official news agency.

Sihanouk, whose life mirrored the turbulent history of his nation where he remained a revered figure, died of a heart attack in Beijing at the age of 89.

The former king, who abruptly quit the throne in October 2004 in favour of his son, had been staying at his Beijing residence since January.


Kim said Sihanouk had maintained the "most lofty and noble friendship, unprecedented in history" with his own country's founder Kim Il-Sung and his late son Kim Jong-Il.

Kim Jong-Un took over after his own father Jong-Il died last December.

Cambodia is the North's oldest ally in Southeast Asia. Their relationship began in the 1960, and Kim Il-Sung built a home for Sihanouk near Pyongyang.

To All Khmer Yeurng (all of Khmer citizens):

Please don't talk nonsense. You don't know what you are talking about. Stop being manipulated by other Anonymous mentioned. You need to be quiet and let's focus on Unity. We want CNRP and CPP to reunite as one without fight each others in order to change the leaders. We wish all Khmer/Cambodian citizens or members of major parties CNRP and CPP to merge after the merger of SRP and HRP including other small parties like Khmer Democratic, KPPM, etc.

So, stop fighting each others. We need to work together to save our Khmer nation.

It is timing. Khmer folks both at home and abroad (USA, Australia, NZ, France, Canada, S. Korea, Japan, and so on), please stop fighting each others and please take the positive outlooks and stop hating other because of the Vietnamese/Yuon manipulation and don't let our neighbors Yuon/Viet and Siam/Thai to see our weakness.
So, watch out on each others no matter what happen. Please think and be careful.

Thanks for listening.

Khmer Yeurng.
