希拉里访问缅甸(1/2)

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's recent trip to Burma marked the first visit there by the United States' top diplomat in more than half a century. This historic visit, announced just last month at the summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN, was an outcome of the U.S. dual-track policy on Burma of principled engagement and pressure. Throughout her meetings, the Secretary gained first-hand information on recent developments in Burma, encouraged its leaders to take additional steps to reform and move in a positive direction for the Burmese people, and urged the government to address the outstanding concerns of the international community. She also demonstrated the United States' unwavering support for Aung San Suu Kyi and Burma's democratic opposition.
