So far, Sihamoni has been far more interested in Cambodian art than his country's politics.
(Commentary by Yildres)
[29]
"He didn't care about material things, didn't have any ambitions for power or money, but was a perfectionist in art. In fact, UNESCO Ambassador is the most suitable job for him."
(Daravu Review)
[29]
"Prince Sihamoni is not only a dancer, but also a learned man, an incorruptible and determined patriot. He has always stood with the people and insisted on fighting imperialism and expansionism... He cared about the people's sufferings and kept in close touch with them. Sihamoni is a non-partisan neutral who does not interfere in politics, which is very suitable for Cambodia." (Commentary by Sihanouk)
