Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong paid his respects to the late King Father Norodom Sihanouk at the Royal Palace on Sunday, reported a local news media.

PM Lee, accompanied by his wife Ho Ching, laid a wreath on behalf of Singapore's government and people and met with Queen Mother Monineath and King Norodom Sihamoni.

In a message following the former king's death in Beijing last week, Lee noted that Cambodia was one of the first countries to recognize Singapore's independence in 1965.

PM Lee first met Sihanouk in 1967 when his father, the then Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, visited Cambodia with the family.

"I remember him showing us Phnom Penh then with great pride in an open top car and showing us the facilities he was building, the sports stadium and how the city was prospering."
