Cambodia on Monday celebrated the third anniversary of King Norodom Sihamoni's ascension to the throne with media campaign and public exposure.

Best wishes from top country leaders for the king were broadcast on most television channels and radio stations and printed on some newspapers and magazines.

The exhibition of the king's portraits can also be seen at some public places in Phnom Penh to feature his charity activities.

In addition, the government will set off fire fireworks in front of the Royal Palace on Monday night.

Sihamoni, 55 years old, succeeded his father Norodom Sihanouk upon his retirement in 2004.

He is the constitutional monarch of the kingdom and does not exercise power in the government.
