RANGOON, Burma — President Obama will hail Burma’s “dramatic transition” and “remarkable journey” toward a more open, democratic society in a speech here Monday, while warning that the progress must shine as a “North Star” for the nation’s 60 million people.
Obama made history when Air Force One touched down at 9:35 a.m. local time Monday, making him the first U.S. president to visit the Southeast Asian nation. His speech at the University of Yangon later in the day will be the centerpiece of his visit, which will last six hours before he flies to Cambodia for the East Asia Summit.
