In late 2011, Hillary Clinton made a historic visit to Myanmar, the first by a U.S. secretary of state in over half a century. Her trip was hailed as a monumental step towards improving U.S.-Myanmar relations. In this photo, Clinton is greeted by Deputy Foreign Minister Myo Myint of Myanmar as she arrives in the capital of Naypyidaw on Nov. 30, 2011.
