Hillary Clinton, the US Secretary of State, is in Myanmar - the first visit by a senior US diplomat in 50 years.

During her two-day visit, Clinton has met President Thein Sein and Aung San Suu Kyi, Myanmar's opposition leader.

Clinton urged the Myanmar government to release all political prisoners and to break its military ties with North Korea for a possible end to US sanctions on the country.
