Restoration As King
Peace negotiations between the CGDK and the PRK commenced shortly thereafter and continued until 1991 when all sides agreed to a comprehensive settlement which they signed in Paris. Prince Sihanouk returned once more to Cambodia on 14 November 1991 after thirteen years in exile.
In 1993, Sihanouk once again became King of Cambodia. During the restoration, however, he suffered from ill health and traveled repeatedly to Beijing for medical treatment.
Sihanouk's leisure interests included music (he composed songs in Khmer, French, and English) and film. He became a prodigious filmmaker, directing many movies and orchestrating musical compositions. He became one of the first heads of state in the region to have a personal website.
