State counselor likely to be treated like a head of government on second trip to China, experts say

Myanmar's Aung San Suu Kyi will take her first trip as state counselor outside the ASEAN region next week when she visits Beijing, where experts believe she will be received as a head of government.

The four-day China visit will begin on Wednesday, Thai-land-based magazine The Irrawaddy quoted Zaw Htay, spokesman for the Myanmar President's Office, as saying.
