MALAYSIA: Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi will visit Myanmar on Friday, officials said.

Badawi was initially scheduled to visit Myanmar late last month, but the trip was postponed because he was unwell.

The Myanmar visit will be the last leg of Badawi's introductory tour of the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations, a tradition for newly installed regional leaders.

Badawi took over from veteran leader Mahathir Mohamad on Oct. 31. -- AFP.
