PHNOM PENH, July 21 (Reuters) - Cambodia's long-serving
leader Hun Sen has told a Chinese television station that his
eldest son, Hun Manet, can become Prime Minister within four
weeks of Sunday's election.
    "In three or four weeks, Hun Manet can become the prime
minister. It depends on whether Hun Manet will be able to do it
or not," Hun Sen said in an interview with China's Phoenix TV
aired on Thursday.
