Pakistani Leader to Visit Myanmar


Xinhua, Rangoon, 25/4/01. Pakistani leader General Pervez Musharraf will 
pay a three-day official visit to Myanmar beginning May 1, a diplomat of 
the Pakistani Embassy in Yangon told Xinhua Wednesday.

Musharraf is Chief Executive of Pakistan and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs 
of Staff Committee and Army Chief.

This will be the first visit to Myanmar by a Pakistani senior leader in 16 
years.

Meanwhile, a fleet of Pakistani naval vessels, including a submarine, a 
tanker and a destroyer, will also call at Yangon Port on Friday for a 
three-day visit ahead of Musharraf's arrival.

It will not only be the first time for Pakistani naval vessels to arrive in 
Yangon but also the first occasion for foreign warships to enter Myanmar 
territorial waters for such official visit since the present Myanmar 
military government took power in 1988.

In July last year, First Secretary of the ruling Myanmar State Peace and 
Development Council Lieutenant-General Khin Nyunt visited Pakistan at the 
invitation of Musharraf.
