Family ties between Angelina Jolie and her son, Maddox, just got a little tighter.

A royal decree approving Cambodian citizenship for Jolie, star of the “Tomb Raider” films, was signed by King Norodom Sihamoni on July 31, Sok Sam Oeun, an official of the Council of Ministers, said Friday.

Sok Sam Oeun said he was working through Jolie’s contacts in Cambodia to notify the 30-year-old actress of her new citizenship.

Jolie, who adopted Maddox from Cambodia in 2002, is giving Cambodian Vision in Development, a community development group, $1.5 million for its environmental protection efforts in remote parts of the country’s northwest.
