Cambodia: Wearing Khmer Rouge garb, Norodom Sihanouk embraces Khieu Samphan in the Khmer Rouge 'liberated area', 1973.

Between 1970 and 1975 Norodom Sihanouk was nominally head of the Khmer Rouge-dominated Royal Government of National Union of Kampuchea (acronym from the French GRUNK), the opposition to Lon Nol's pro-American Khmer Republic. In 1973 he travelled from Beijing to the Khmer Rouge 'liberated zone' of Cambodia for propaganda purposes.
