PHNOM PENH, Aug. 10 (Xinhua) -- Cambodian Prince Norodom Ranariddh,
president of Norodom Ranariddh Party, announced on Friday that he
decided to quit politics from now on in order to focus on humanitarian
activities.
"I notice that the monarchy regime in Cambodia is stronger under the protection by the constitutional law and the government of Cambodia led by Prime Minister Hun Sen," the prince said in a statement from France.
"I'd like to declare that, from now on, I stop doing politics and will no longer be responsible for the tasks and decisions of the Norodom Ranariddh Party."
"I will start doing social and humanitarian affairs to contribute to the national development under the reign of the King Norodom Sihamoni," he said.
The prince's surprising announcement to quit politics came more than two months after his attempt to reunite the royalist parties-- the Norodom Ranariddh Party and the Funcinpec Party--failed.
Prince Narariddh is the son of the former King Norodom Sihanouk.
The prince declared to quit politics for the first time in October 2008 after he received a royal pardon for fraud charges, and he re-entered politics in December 2010.
