　　Shwe Mann will make the trip at the invitation of U.S. Congress Speaker John Boehner and the U.S. government, the report said.

　　Shwe Mann's announced Washington visit comes after Myanmar President U Thein Sein's working visit to the United States in late May, which marked the entry into a new and higher stage of Myanmar-U.S. relations.

　　During U Thein Sein's May visit, Myanmar and the United States reached a trade and investment framework agreement, creating a platform for ongoing⁴ dialogue and cooperation on trade and investment issues between the two governments.

　　U Thein Sein, at a roundtable discussion between ASEAN Business Council and U.S. Chamber⁵ of Commerce in Washington, vowed⁶ Myanmar' s readiness to work with international investors⁷ as equal partners.

　　Myanmar and the United States also reached consent during the visit over U.S. technical assistance for the development of Myanmar's oil and gas sector⁸.

　　Meanwhile, the new Myanmar-U.S. Trade Council announced establishment of its branch offices in Yangon, Washington and New York, calling for lifting of all remaining U.S. sanctions on Myanmar to facilitate access to an undeveloped consumer market in Myanmar which is rich in natural resources.
