Myanmar/Burma is considered an outcast state because of their terrible human rights record. For 49 years (1962-2011), the country was ruled by a totalitarian government that operated even with international sanctions. The generals who were engulfed with power forced people to move, and work (children included). Within the last three to four years, the government has made improvements to end an era of international abolishment.
German President Joachim Gauck plans to visit Myanmar after India. According to Myanmar Times, "This year marks the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Myanmar and Germany. Mr Gauck will become the first German president to visit Myanmar since Richard von Weizsäcker in 1986."
