NEW DELHI, Aug. 25 (Xinhua) -- Myanmar President U. Htin Kyaw will arrive in India this weekend on his first official visit to this country, the External Affairs Ministry has said.
The president will be on a four-day state visit from Saturday, at the invitation of Indian President Pranab Mukherjee. He will be accompanied by his wife Daw Su Su Lwin, and several ministers and top officials.
"During his visit to India, the Myanmar President will have official engagements in New Delhi and also visit places of historical and cultural importance in India. The visit will help to further strengthen and expand traditionally close ties between the two countries," the Ministry said.
The announcement of the visit by the Myanmar President to India since taking office in March after Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy came to power, comes just three days after Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj visited the neighboring country. Enditem
