During her two-day visit which brought her to Rangoon and Naypyidaw, Clinton met with Burmese President Thein Sein and opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, both of whom described her visit as “historic.”
After a formal meeting with Clinton at her home in Rangoon on Friday morning, Suu Kyi said she is happy with the way the US is engaging with Burma, describing the Western superpower's policy as one that aspires to promote the process of democratization.
Speaking at a joint press briefing from the veranda of her Rangoon home with Clinton, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate said, “We are so happy that Secretary Clinton had a very good meeting in Naypyidaw [with President Thein Sein] and we are happy with the way in which the United States is engaging with us. It is true engagement that we hope will promote the process of democratization.”
