The US hollywood star Angelina Jolie said here Tuesday that she is proud and honored that Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen will give her a Cambodian citizenship. "He (Hun Sen) did mention to give me a Cambodian citizenship and I am very honored," Jolie told reporters after she met with Hun Sen on Tuesday. "So I am sure and I am moving forward to actually receiving that," she said. Jolie discussed on Tuesday with Prime Minister Hun Sen about the environment protection issues in Cambodia's Samlot area where she has a home there.

After the meeting, Hun Sen announced to cancel the planned project to build a hydroelectricity in the area of Samlot, instead to allow Jolie to preserve the environment there. Jolie has played several famous movies including the one in Cambodia, Tom Raider.
