UK and France will welcome Myanmar's reformist president Thein Sein within a few days, according to AFP which cited an official of the presidential office.
According to the official who declined to be named, he will visit the European countries on a four-day visit on 14-18 July.
Ye Htut, the presidential spokesperson, declined to confirm the date, says the report.
Thein Sein, whose reform measures convinced the Western countries to lift sanctions which had been imposed on the Myanmar, visited some European countries in March to rekindle the relations with the countries and seek support for his government's reforms.
The European Union granted General System of Preferences to Myanmar last month to show their support for the democratic transition in Myanmar.
US and EU have lifted almost all economic sanctions against Myanmar, except for arms embargo.
