Beijing: A top Burma official arrived in Beijing for a state visit on
Monday as China seeks to cement ties with regional allies.
The five-day trip by Mr. Khin Nyunt, powerful secretary of Burma's
ruling State Peace and Development Council, overlaps a visit by Kim
Yong-nam, the most senior North Korean official to come to China since
1991.
An official at the Burma embassy said Mr. Khin Nyunt was accompanied by
foreign minister Win Aung and a large delegation.
Mr. Khin Nyunt was scheduled to hold talks on Monday with Chinese state
councilor Luo Gan.  (Reuter)
