Myanmar State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi will pay a visit to Singapore next week, an official statement said on Sunday without specifying the date of her tour.
According to informed sources, Suu Kyi's trip at the invitation of Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong is expected on Dec. 1.
Relations and cooperation between Myanmar and Singapore have opened a new chapter after Lee visited Myanmar in June as the first leader of Asian countries after the National League for Democracy government assumed office on April 1.
During Lee's visit, the two countries signed an agreement on 30-day mutual exemption of visa for ordinary passport holders, which will take effect on Dec. 1.
Singapore is Myanmar's second largest investor after China with an accumulative investment of 15.596 billion U.S. dollars as of October 2016.
Myanmar-Singapore bilateral relations dated back to the year 1966 when the two countries established diplomatic ties. Endit
