Good strategic move!

Good strategic move on the part of President Obama to visit Myanmar.. It shows the people of Myanmar, the U.S. stands behind reforms. The President's visit also will encourage tourism which is on the increase and important if progress is to continue. Finally, let's not forget, it is in our interest to build ties with nations in Southeast Asia, especially with increased volatility in the South China Sea.
