Photo: Israeli President Shimon Peres will visit Myanmar in 2014, the first visit by an Israeli leader in decades. (http://www.mmtimes.com/index.php/national-news/7950-shimon-peres-to-visit-myanmar-next-year.html) This will be Shimon Peres's second official trip, his first was, amazingly enough, 56 years ago, when as Director-General of the Israeli Defense Ministry he accompanied Defense Minister Moshe Dayan. I hope he will follow in the footsteps of Israel's founder and Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion, who visited for 16 days in 1961 and wore Burmese dress (and had his other officials do the same).
