None

British Prime Minister David Cameron has arrived in Myanmar's capital to become the first leader of a major Western country to be hosted by the reformist-minded government that took power last year.

 

Cameron was to meet Friday with President Thein Sein and separately with opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi. His visit is the first in decades by a British prime minister. Myanmar, also known as Burma, is a former British colony. (AP)
