Sihanouk ascended Tiananmen tower more than other foreign leaders: report

King Sihanouk meeting with Chinese Communist party leadership in 1956 (Mao Zedong, Peng Zhen, Norodom Sihanouk and Liu Shaoqi)

PHNOM PENH, 16 October 2012 (Cambodia Herald) - King Father Norodom Sihanouk ascended the Tiananmen Gate Tower in central Beijing more times than any other foreign leader, Xinhua News Agency reported Tuesday.

The report, citing China Central Television, said he walked up the tower with Chinese leaders on six occasions "which is the most compared with other heads of state."

The late former king had close ties with all Chinese leaders since Mao Zedong, the founder of modern China in 1949.
