U.S. Secretary of State Hilary Clinton is visiting with Aung Sang Suu Ky in Myanmar. Suu Ky is planning on running in the upcoming parliamentary elections with her newly registered party the National League of Democracy. Clinton's visit to Myanmar marks the first visit from someone in the United States in 50 years. The reason why Clinton is visiting in Myanmar is to urge democratic reforms. Clinton has also visited with Myanmar's president Thein Stein and told him that if the country still continues to reform the country that the United States will help them economically and diplomatically. Stein would like to have a good relationship with bordering countries like India and China. The United States is being careful and realistic and if Myanmar continues towards democratic reform the United States will be willing to help out the country.
