Jolie makes first visit as UN goodwill ambassador

She was welcomed by Myanmar House Speaker Shwe Mann, who led her to visit the Myanmar Parliament on Wednesday.
The British embassy in Yangon announced that Jolie Pitt made the four-day visit to Myanmar “to learn more about the situation in the country and encourage efforts to build a peaceful and inclusive future for all its people.
“The four-day visit will encompass both challenges arising from the legacy of conflict, and issues that will help determine the future of the country.”
The embassy said Jolie Pitt would carry out engagements in her capacity as Co-Founder of the Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative, and as UNHCR Special Envoy will carry out field visits to displaced people in Myanmar’s conflict-affected states.
She arrived in Burma from Cambodia, where she was visiting health, education and conservation projects funded by the Maddox Jolie-Pitt Foundation since 2003. She also made preparations to direct the film First They Killed My Father based on a child’s experience of the years of turmoil in Cambodia.
