English: President Thein Sein of Burma and President Barack Obama of the United States shake hands for the media in the Oval Office on 20 May 2013. It was the first visit by a Burmese leader to the White House since the dictator General Ne Win, Chairman of the Revolutionary Council of the Union of Burma, paid an offical state visit to the U.S. during the Johnson presidency on 8-10 September 1966. Thein Sein visited New York City in September 2012 for the U.N. General Assembly, but did not travel to Washington
