The day after Hun Sen’s speech, publicly confirming the Prince’s return from exile, Prince Ranariddh has immediately expressed his gratitude towards the Prime Minister.

I’m very pleased with your declaration of the 17th of September. I wish to express my infinite gratitude. Your speech clearly shows your efforts towards a national reconciliation, which is the best factor to bring prosperity and political stability to the country”, said the Prince from Kuala Lumpur in a letter dated from the 18th of September and directed to Hun Sen.

Wednesday 17 September, the Prime Minister confirmed that the Prince, in exile since two years, will be allowed to return to the country during the Pchum Ben festival. A confirmation anticipated since a few weeks by the President of the NRP, after having publicly voiced his approval of the election results of the 27th of July. Now, only the King’s pardon is needed, which should be signed imminently.
