US President Barack Obama has praised reforms in a historic trip to Burma and promised more help if the country continued its "remarkable journey" to democracy.
The first US leader to visit the Asian nation said: "Our goal is to sustain the momentum."
Tens of thousands of people lined the streets of the capital, Rangoon, to see Mr Obama.
He shared words and a hug with Aung San Suu Kyi, the democracy activist who endured years of house arrest to gain freedom and become a politician.
