PHNOM PENH, July 9 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia's former King Norodom Sihanouk and his wife Queen Monineath Sihanouk arrived home Thursday afternoon after they had spent almost a year in China for medical treatment.
Soon after arrival at Siem Reap International Airport, the former King Norodom Sihanouk and his wife proceeded straight to his royal residence in Siem Reap town where he will stay there for a while.
Norodom Sihanouk and his wife left for China on Aug. 1, 2008 and he had stayed there for medical treatment as advised by his Chinese doctors.
The ex-King Norodom Sihanouk, 86, has said that he had suffered a number of illnesses including diabetes and cancer.
But two weeks ago, he said his third cancer of its kind was fully treated and recovered by his eminent Chinese doctors.
On June 27, Sihanouk issued a statement saying his doctors had informed him of being able to return home, but suggested him to fly back to China in September and will have to stay there at least until the end of the year.
Welcoming the King's arrival from China were Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Sar Kheng, the country's police chief Neth Saveoun, royal family members and other government officials.
