The head of Burma's military government, General Than Shwe, will travel to India Sunday for talks.
Indian officials say General Than Shwe's five-day visit will likely focus on strengthening economic cooperation between Burma and New Delhi.
Burmese dissidents living in India say they will protest General Than Shwe's visit, the first by a Burmese head of state to India in 25 years.
Relations between Burma and India soured after 1988, when Burma's military government accused India of giving refuge to Burmese dissidents.
