UK's Hague arrives in Myanmar to urge reforms (AP)

YANGON, Myanmar ? Britain's William Hague has arrived in Myanmar for the first visit by a U.K. foreign secretary since 1955 ? another sign of the Southeast Asian nation's warming relations with the West.

A British diplomat in Yangon says Hague arrived in the capital Naypyitaw on Thursday morning to hold talks with President Thein Sein and government ministers. He will later meet with opposition leader and Nobel peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi in Yangon.

Hague's visit follows a trip by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton in November.

Western nations have been offering cautious support for reforms in the military-dominated country that have led to the release of some political prisoners and seen Suu Kyi's party rejoin the country's political process.
