Suu Kyi to make her first visit to China
Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi is to lead a delegation to China for the first time next week.
The visit comes amid strained ties between the two neighbors over conflicts near their border and months ahead of a general election in Myanmar.
Observers said the trip underlines the changes in both countries' policies, with Beijing engaging in exchanges with various sectors other than just the government, and the party headed by Suu Kyi expected to continue reaching out to Beijing if it wins the election.
