Barack Obama has called on Myanmar's military rulers to release opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi. <br /><br />In Singapore on Saturday, Obama became the first US president ever to attend a meeting of the Association of South East Asian Nations, or ASEAN. <br /><br />That meeting was also attended by Myanmar's prime minister, General Thein Sein.<br /><br />Although the two men did not speak directly, as Al Jazeera's Veronica Pedrosa reports, the fact they were in the same room signals a major shift in US engagement with Myanmar.
