Cambodian PM hopes Prince Ranariddh to return home from Malaysia

September 17, 2008

Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said Wednesday that he wanted self-exiled Prince Norodom Ranariddh to return home from Malaysia in the traditional Pchum Ben festival falling on Sept. 29.

"My intention needs the Prince to come back to have reconciliation for our nation and myself also want to do a good charity in the festival," Hun Sen said at a graduation ceremony at the National Institute of Education.

"The Prince and I used to have verbal attack but now it is over," he said, adding that Ranariddh needs pardon from the King.

Ranariddh, who left Cambodia last year under a cloud of legal problems, is living in Malaysia.

In October 2006, he was ousted from the Funcinpec Party and he created a new party under his own name, the Norodom Ranariddh Party (NRP), which won two seats in the National Assembly in the July 27 national election.

Meanwhile, Hun Sen also revealed that if the newly elected members of the National Assembly from NRP want to join the committees in the parliament, they have to send their names to the National Assembly and prepare a name list for approving in package voting.

The new mandate of National Assembly will have the swearing-in ceremony on Sept. 24.
