Suu Kyi to Visit China Next Week

 Aung San Suu Kyi, Burma’s state counselor and foreign minister, is scheduled to visit China for four days from next week, according to the President’s Office.

President’s Office spokesman Zaw Htay confirmed that Suu Kyi would travel to China on Aug. 17. He declined to offer further details, saying that more would be announced soon.

China’s Minister of State Security Geng Huichang invited her to visit China during a meeting in the Burmese capital of Naypyidaw on July 8.

It will be her first foreign visit since her name appeared on a (unverified) “hit list” sent to police in Malaysia on August 1, which purported to be from the Islamic State terrorist group. (Courtesy of irrawaddy.com)
