Clinton visit melts the diplomatic ice with Myanmar

http://www.euronews.net/ US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has become the most senior American official to visit Myanmar in over half a century. Her aim is to assess the reclusive state's commitment to democratic reform. The White House warns that sanctions will continue if Myanmar fails to maintain progress on political and economic change. The country formerly known as Burma was ruled by a military junta for nearly five decades until last year.
