Myanmar's first State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi is in Beijing for her five-day official visit to China.  She will be officially received by Premier Li Keqiang at a welcome ceremony later today. Before Suu Kyi left Myanmar, she said that she wants to play a greater role in boosting her country's strategic partnership with China.

Suu Kyi's visit came roughly a week after Myanmar President U Htin Kyaw decided to review the Myitsone Dam project. It was a joint venture between the two countries, but was suspended by the former Myanmar government 5 years ago.
