Cambodia’s Prince Ranariddh to visit North Korea

Prince, whose father built close ties with North Korea, says he hopes to prevent "nuclear war"

Cambodia's Prince Norodom Ranariddh, half-brother of the country's King Norodom Sihamoni, will visit North Korea in late June or early July, the prince announced on Thursday to journalists at the country's Royal Palace.

Norodom, who is also head of Cambodia's royalist FUNCINPEC political party, said the trip would be a private one, intended to encourage North Korea to slow its development of nuclear weapons and de-escalate tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
