Cambodia's King NorodomSihamoni returned home on Friday from China where he was treated for prostate cancer, according to state media, with the palace saying his health was improved. Sihamoni, 73, departed for Beijing for health checks earlier this year and shared his cancer diagnosis in April.

The king has been receiving treatment from Chinese doctors in Beijing after undergoing "successful" surgery, according to the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh. In a statement on Tuesday, the palace said the king's health was "getting better" after more than three months of treatment.
