Obama sees “flickers of progress” in Myanmar, to send Clinton in December

BALI (Indonesia), November 18, 2011(Tehelkanews)

President Barack Obama says Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will travel to Myanmar as the U.S. looks to seize what could be an historic opportunity for progress in the repressed country.



Mr. Obama says after years of darkness, there have been "flickers of progress" in Myanmar in the last several weeks.



Ms. Clinton's trip next month is the first such visit by a secretary of state in more than 50 years. The move is the most dramatic sign of a changing relationship between the United States and Myanmar, also known Burma.



Mr. Obama announced Ms. Clinton's visit in Bali, where he is attending a summit of East Asian nations.
