The group met with high-ranking members of the government and the security services, including Interior Minister Sar Kheng, National Police Commissioner Neth Savoeun, and the capital’s police chief Chuon Sovann.

Cambodia’s state press agency noted that next month’s visit, the date of which has not been released, would be Jinping’s second, following a trip in 2009 when he was vice-president...

Massive security planned, but the date for the visit is still under wraps:

Massive Security Deployment Planned for President Xi’s Visit to Cambodia
by Khuon Narim | October 6, 2016

A mixed force of 7,000 military and security personnel will be deployed to protect Chinese President Xi Jinping when he visits Cambodia later this month for his first visit since coming to power, a police spokesman said on Wednesday.

The security arrangements will be even greater than what was mustered for U.S. President Barack Obama and other world leaders during their 2012 visit for the Asean Summit in Phnom Penh, said National Police spokesman Kirth Chantharith...

PHNOM PENH, Oct. 12 (FN) -- Cambodian politicians and scholars applauded Chinese President Xi Jinping's signed article published in a leading Cambodian newspaper on Wednesday, saying that the article reflects Xi's sincere view of Cambodia as a true friend of China.

Xi's article titled "China and Cambodia: Good Neighbors and Trusted Friends" was published in the Rasmei Kampuchea Daily Newspaper, Cambodia's largest Khmer-language newspaper, on Wednesday, a day ahead of his first state visit to Cambodia.

According to the article, Xi highly values China-Cambodia friendly exchanges, which date back to more than a millennium until the two countries established diplomatic ties in 1958.

Getting word in now that the police are waiting for the order to close Norodom, my guess is they will be using this route from the airport to the palace.

Try and avoid the area at all costs, as the traffic will block up on Monivong and in BKK1 with people no longer allowed to access Norodom.
