Obama's Asia visit continues


(Vatican Radio) US President Barack Obama made historic visits to Burma and Cambodia.
Speaking in the Burmese city of Rangoon, the President praised recent democratic reform efforts and promised US support for the country for so long as real reforms continue. Hours later, Obama travelled to Cambodia, where he met with and criticized the country's leader on the issue of human rights. White House officials emphasized that Obama would not have visited Cambodia had it not been hosting two regional summit meetings the U.S. attends. The president’s Tuesday schedule includes meetings scheduled in Cambodia with his counterparts in the East Asia Summit. Obama is also scheduled to meet separately on the sidelines of the summit with Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda and with Wen, the Chinese premier. It's likely to be Obama's last bilateral meetings with both men. Listen: RealAudioMP3
