President Barack Obama says the United States is prepared to lift sanctions on Myanmar "soon" with democratic progress in the country is incomplete but on the right track.
During a meeting with Myanmar's Aung San Suu Kyi at the White House on Wednesday, Obama said the US moves would give incentives to businesses to invest in the Asian country.
Suu Kyi, visiting the White House for the first time since her party won a sweeping victory in last year's election, said it was time for all sanctions that hurt her country economically to be lifted.
