Hun Sen
 ONE
of the youngest prime ministers of the world Hun Sen of Cambodia came to
Delhi in 1990 on an official visit. A doctorate in political science,
Hun Sen entered the foreign service in 1979 as Foreign Minister of
Cambodia and became the Prime Minister in 1981.
During his short stay
in Delhi, he came in contact with many Indian leaders with whom he
exchanged views and formed cordial relationships. He also visited
several historical places in Delhi before he signed a number of
agreements, including some in the fields of culture and economics.
It was during this occasion that I
happened to meet him with a sketch of his. He was grim but as soon as he
saw his sketch a big smile lit his face and he readily signed on it —
indeed a very simple signature dated October 8, 1990.
