Former king Norodom Sihanouk expressed condolences to the family of deceased former statesman Chau Senkosal, who died Thursday at the age of 104.

Sihounk wrote on his Web site that Chau Senkosal had been a son of the nation, a nationalist, and a “Sihanoukist,” and pledged $10,000 for his funeral.

Chau Senkosal served as prime minister and president of the National Assembly between 1959 and 1968, under the government of Sihanouk.
