Cambodian King Norodom Sihamoni will soon visit North Korea at the invitation of the North's parliamentary president Kim Yong-nam.

The North's Korea Central News Agency on Friday announced the visit but no further details of the king's schedule.

Reports say Sihamoni will go to Pyongyang to bring back parents who have stayed there since February.

His father and predecessor Sihanouk has insisted on staying in Pyongyang over fear that Cambodia will deport him, but recently said he will return with his wife after Sihamomi's official visit to the North.
