President Obama has met with a number of Asian leaders, including Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao during a visit to Cambodia. Earlier today, Obama and Wen met on the sidelines of the East Asia Summit, which Obama is attending in the third and final stop of his first post-election foreign trip. Obama’s stay in Cambodia marks the first to the country by a sitting U.S. president. He arrived after also making a historic visit to Burma, where he urged the ruling junta to continue with political reform.

President Obama: “The steps that he has already taken for democratization, elections, the release of prisoners of conscience, a commitment to work with us on a human rights dialogue, all can unleash the incredible potential of this beautiful country. And I shared with him the fact that I recognize that this is just the first steps on what will be a long journey.”
