Aung San Suu Kyi to visit China next week
Aung San Suu Kyi, Myanmar's opposition leader, will visit China for the first time next week at a time of tension between the two countries.
Ms Suu Kyi will start the four-day visit next Wednesday, her National League for Democracy (NLD) party said.
An NLD spokesman said she would meet China's president, Xi Jinping, and premier, Li Keqiang.
Relations between the countries have cooled in recent years, partly because of violence near their mutual border.
