緬甸總統吳登盛週一將造訪白宮大綱
Burmese President Thein Sein on Monday will become the first leader of his country to visit the White House in nearly half a century.
The former general will meet with President Barack Obama during a visit human rights organizations and some politicians say is premature because of anti-Muslim violence and continuing rights violations in Burma.
Officials say the two countries are expected to use the visit to work out agreements that could lead to regular talks on boosting trade, labor standards and investment.緬甸總統吳登盛星期一將成爲近半個世紀以來第一位造訪白宮的緬甸領導人。
吳登盛曾是一位將軍，他在訪美期間將會晤奧巴馬總統。人權組織和一些政界人士說，緬甸目前存在針對穆斯林的暴力以及繼續侵犯人權現象，因此這次訪問的時機並不成熟。
有關官員說，預計美國和緬甸將利用這次訪問達成一些協議，而這些協議可能推動雙方在促進貿易、制定勞工標準以及投資等領域的定期會談。
