Myanmar's president announced a major Cabinet reshuffle on Monday Aug. 27 2012, a move analysts see as advancing the once-pariah nation's reformist agenda. The shake-up is the biggest since President Thein Sein's government took office from the former military junta in March 2011 and launched a wave of dramatic reforms that have surprised the world and prompted Western powers to ease crippling sanctions. The announcement made late Monday on the president's official website said the overhaul affects nine of several dozen Cabinet posts. Some 15 new deputy ministers are also being appointed.

华盛顿

缅甸总统吴登盛计划本月对美国进行历史性访问。本周四,有美国国会内部人士向法新社透露,吴登盛拟定在5月20日或21日抵达华盛顿。这将是近半个世纪以来缅甸领导人首到访美国首都。去年9月,吴登盛曾因参加联合国大会到访过纽约。

据悉,此次访美吴登盛将会与美国总统奥巴马在白宫举行会晤。而美方对缅甸的邀请是要鼓励后者继续改革之路。不过吴登盛计划访美的消息目前尚未得到美国政府的确认。

2011年,前军政府的将军吴登盛上任,成为第一位由军人转型的缅甸文职总统。他推出了一些列的改革措施,其中包括释放数百名政治犯,遭软禁多年的反对派领导人昂山素季被解除禁令,而后她加入了缅甸议会。
