US President Barack Obama will make his first visit to Myanmar during

his four-day Asian tour, the White House said.


The trip from November 17-20 will include Myanmar, Thailand and

Cambodia. He will arrive in Myanmar on November 19, AFP reported.


Obama is scheduled to meet President Thein Sein and opposition leader

Aung San Suu Kyi. He is also expected to address civil society to

encourage Myanmar's ongoing democratic transition, according to a

statement from the White House.

"We welcome the news from the White House on the visit of President

Obama. This historic visit is meant to assure the support of

Washington to the democratisation process," Zaw Htay, director of the

President's Office, said to Eleven Media Group.


"President Thein Sein can move forward with his reform programs with

the support of Mr Obama and the United States of America without

backtracking. The government hopes bilateral relations and cooperation

will significantly increase after this historic visit,'' he added.


Nyan Win, NLD spokesman said, "The visit of US President Barack Obama

will help change processes in Myanmar. The country has not fully

enjoyed genuine change. Only senior government leaders are making the

transition process. Such situations could be presented to him during

the visit. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi will also discuss with Obama what's

happening on the ground and issues concerning the investment sector.''

Obama's Southeast Asian tour will end at the East Asia Summit in Phnom

Penh, Cambodia, after meeting with leaders of the Association of

Southeast Asian Nations.


His visit marks the first ever visit of a sitting US president to

Myanmar, as part of the Washington's efforts to motivate the

resource-rich Southeast Asian country's transition to greater

political freedom.

In September, Thein Sein and Suu Kyi visited New York. The president

addressed the UN General Assembly while Suu Kyi met with Obama.


According to the White House statement, Obama will meet with Thai

Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra to mark 180 years of diplomatic

relations and reaffirm bilateral relations with Thailand.


It also said Obama will discuss a broad range of issues including

economic prosperity and job creation through increased trade and

partnerships, energy and security cooperation, human rights, shared

values and other issues of regional and global concern.


Under Obama's leadership, the US changed its policy towards Myanmar

leading to warmer bilateral relations. The US, as well as European

countries, gradually eased economic sanctions since Thein Sein took

office in 2011.

Derek Mitchell, the first US ambassador to Myanmar in 22 years,

arrived in Yangon in July 11. The US and Myanmar established

diplomatic relations since 1947. The US downgraded its level of

representation in Myanmar from ambassador to chargé d'affaires after

1990.
