Prince Norodom Kantol (15 September 1920 – 1976) was the 22nd Prime Minister of Cambodia, serving from 1962 to 1966. He also served as foreign minister under the Sangkum government led by his cousin, Norodom Sihanouk. During the Khmer Republic regime of Lon Nol, he was imprisoned along with other members of the royal family. He disappeared mysteriously in 1976, presumably killed by the Khmer Rouge.[1] Kantol was a leading adviser of Norodom Sihanouk.
