KI-Media note: The letter is not yet posted on the king's website
In his latest letter, the ex-Cambodian monarch challenged his critics to return back to Cambodia to serve the nation and the Cambodian people.
On Sunday, former King Norodom Sihanouk responded in a letter in French to Cambodians who are now living in Canada, France and other countries, and who criticized him for living in China more than in his native Cambodia. These critics want the former monarch to return and live in Cambodia.
King Sihanouk wrote to Cambodians to indicate to them that, while receiving treatment for his 3rd lymphoma B cancer, he requires special medical care through medicines and perfusions, etc… He also wrote that even if he loves, respects and praises the People’s Republic of China to which he owes a debt of gratitude for helping provide his past 2 cancer treatments, he never ceased to serve the nation and the Cambodian people at all.
Besides the above, the ex-monarch ended his letter by challenging Cambodians who are now living in Canada, France, etc… to return back to live in Cambodia to serve the nation and the Cambodian people.
