Cambodia: Prince Norodom Sihanouk meeting farmers in the Khmer Rouge 'liberated zone', April 1973. The farmers are probably Khmer Rouge cadre.

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.
