Obama sending Clinton to Myanmar to explore new ties

U.S. President Barack Obama said on Friday he saw “flickers of progress” in Myanmar and dispatched Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to visit the isolated country next month to explore new ties.

Mr. Obama, in Indonesia for a summit of Asia-Pacific leaders, said he had spoken for the first time with Myanmar democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi who told him she supported more U.S. engagement with the country also known as Burma.
