PM set to meet Aung San Suu Kyi PRIME Minister Tony Abbott will meet Myanmar's popular opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi and President Thein Sein during his two-day visit to the reforming nation. MR Abbott on Wednesday arrived in Myanmar, formally known as Burma, at the midpoint in his busy week of diplomacy that culminates with Australia hosting the G20 leaders. The former pariah state's moment in the spotlight comes amid growing concern about its treatment of ethnic minorities. Ms Suu Kyi - who has been constitutionally barred from running in next years's elections - has meanwhile warned that Myanmar's democratic transition is stalling. Mr Abbott will also hold bilateral meetings with Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Vietnam Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung. Later on Wednesday, Mr Abbott will attend events to commemorate the group's 40th year of dialogue with Australia. The prime minister will attend the ASEAN-hosted East Asia Summit (EAS) on Thursday where security issues will dominate. The pressure point in the EAS is the protracted territorial row in the South China Sea between China and other ASEAN countries such as the Philippines and Vietnam. Mr Abbott was greeted in Myanmar's capital Naypyidaw by a delegation including Health Minister Than Aung. He leaves Myanmar on Thursday for Friday's G20 forum in Brisbane.
