Myanmar Confident of Free and Fair Elections, Minister Says

“We are confident that we will be able to hold the upcoming by-election free and fair as in the last nationwide general elections,” Wunna Maung Lwin said in a speech today in New Delhi, where he was on a four-day visit. “The reform process that we have started is irreversible. There will be no turning back or derailment in the road to democracy.”

Suu Kyi foresees democratic Burma

Burma's opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi says she believes Burma will hold democratic elections "in my lifetime".

In an exclusive interview with the BBC, she said she did not know when that would be or whether she would run.

She said political prisoners must be freed. Officials deny their existence.

She is due to meet William Hague - the first UK foreign secretary to visit since 1955. Several top officials have visited since Burma's first elections in 20 years that ended military rule.

A nominally civilian government is now in place.

Ms Suu Kyi, 66, told BBC World News that she foresaw "a full democratic elections in my lifetime", adding: "But then of course I don't know how long I'm going to live. But if I live a normal lifespan, yes."

Last month she formally registered her National League for Democracy (NLD) as a political party, after boycotting the 2010 polls because of electoral laws that prevented her taking part. The authorities officially approved the NLD registration on Thursday.

Of President Thein Sein, a former top general who stepped down to contest elections as a civilian, Ms Suu Kyi said: "I trust the president, but I can't yet trust the government for the simple reason that I don't yet know all the members of government."

Analysis


Rachel Harvey
BBC News, Rangoon
William Hague came to Burma to encourage the government to continue on the path of reform. But he seems to have come away from his meetings having himself been encouraged.

Mr Hague made clear that if the recent trend continued there could be rewards, including the lifting of sanctions. But he said this would only happen when there was a "complete process of reform".

There is now a widely held view that Burma stands at a crossroads and the next year could prove critical in determining the scope and speed of change.

In her interview with the BBC, Aung San Suu Kyi said things were not moving as quickly as many would like, but she added that she trusted President Thein Sein and believed him to be an honest man.

That view will undoubtedly influence the thinking of western nations - Britain, the US and the EU in particular - who tend to take their cue from Burma's most famous former political detainee.

Investors eye resourceful Burma
She added: "The most important thing about the president is that he is an honest man... He is a man capable of taking risks if he thinks they are worthwhile."

Asked whether the day was coming when she would run for that office, however, she replied: "I can't even tell whether this is something that I would like to do or would do."

Prisoner account
William Hague said after meeting his counterpart Wunna Maung Lwi in Nay Pyi Taw that "the foreign minister has reaffirmed commitments that have been made to release political prisoners".

"He said the changes are irreversible and I welcome that way of thinking," Mr Hague added.

"I stressed that the world will judge the government by its actions."

But in an interview with the BBC Burmese service later, Wunna Maung Lwi said Burma did not acknowledge there were political prisoners.

They are all criminals, he said, and it was up to the president to decide when prisoners were released - adding that prisoners had already been freed on three recent occasions.


The government, he said, was focused on the development of the whole country.

Between 600 and 1,000 journalists, dissidents and monks who led anti-government protests in 2007 are thought to remain behind bars in Burma.

Ms Suu Kyi said all political prisoners must be freed - regardless of whether the government admitted their existence.

Burma, she said, had made progress but it was not "as fast as a lot of us would like it to be. But on the other hand I don't think it's too slow. It's slow but not too slow".

She called for Western countries to invest in Burma, which was suffering from "reputation risk".

Burma Democratic Concern (BDC): This is NOW Time that International Community MUST remove TOURISM, TRADE and INVESTMENT Sanction on Burma

Burma Democratic Concern (BDC): This is NOW Time that International Community MUST remove TOURISM, TRADE and INVESTMENT Sanction on Burma

18 January 2012

Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) warmly welcomes the release of hundreds of political prisoners. According to the list of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s NLD network inside Burma who are supporting prisoners and visiting prisons around the country -- the numbers are approximately nearest well documented by NLD that there are 591 political prisoners in Burma. Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) welcomes the decision of the government to release the political prisoners according to the lists of NLD and we call for U Thein Sein regime to release all the rest of the political prisoners in accord with the NLD’s list of political prisoners.

Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) also welcomes US Government decision to normalise diplomatic relation in response to Burma Government’s positive steps taken. Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) encourages international community to engage more with Burma in order to balance China’s influence over Burma. Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) truly believes that more engagement would effectively promote political, civil, democratic and economic freedom in Burma.

Daw Aung San Suu Kyi has already invited investment and tourism in Burma. Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) would like to echo our leader’s call for investment and tourism in Burma. Please do invest in Burma and please do visit Burma. Burma is facing challenges ahead which we must address sensibly, wisely and realistically for her quest for democracy. Burma must resolve poverty, corruptions, poor technology, and lack of expertise, poor banking, unemployment and inflation and fiscal and monetary policies.

Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) calls for investment in Burma which will significantly boost the welfare of the Burmese people. By removing investment and trade sanction on Burma, Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) truly believes that Burmese citizens will have the benefits of increased investment which can bring technology, knowledge and democratic values since outside investment strengthens private institutions. At the same time, Burma must work hard to end the economics monopoly and cronyism in Burma. Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) welcomes tourists visiting Burma so as to promote ordinary Burmese people engaging with people from around the world.

Burma needs technology and financial assistance from international community to help rebuilding the nation after five decades of isolation and economics mismanagement. Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) is very concerned that due to the sanction imposed on Burma as the subsequence crucial international aid are stopped delivering in Burma. Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) calls for international community to provide more humanitarian assistance and development aid inside Burma and since in the past most of the US government's aid programme went to organisations based in Thailand. If there are obstacles blocking aids going inside Burma then we must remove them immediately since we don’t want to hurt the livelihood of the ordinary people of Burma whom are suffering from reputation risk. Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) opposes anything hurting people.

Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) is very sad to learn that Burma receives less foreign aid money than any country in Southeast Asia because of the sanction imposed on Burma. For example, in 2009-10 Burma receives only $US7.2 per capita of Overseas Development Assistance (ODA) while neighbouring Laos received $US64.4. Particularly international community must remove all sanctions that block technical assistance in health and social welfare. Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) is very shocked to learn that restrictions imposed by western countries prohibit assistance from reaching any member of the government because of which prohibit providing any assistance such as even providing training to teachers and health workers.

In particular, Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) calls for more assistance and international investment in education, social and health care in Burma. Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) truly believes that Burmese people will be very happy if International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank (WB) and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) could help tackling poverty in Burma since Burma needs financial and technological assistance from international community so as to address the immediate needs of the people and in the process of rebuilding Burma.

Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) truly believes that Burma is on the right track for democratic change. In order to help reliving the suffering of the people of Burma, we must have common position amongst all parties concerned by putting national interest first. Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) calls for international community to remove TOURISM, TRADE and INVESTMENT sanction on Burma in order to alleviate suffering of Burmese people who are suffering from REPUTATION RISK and to encourage Burmese government’s reform process which had already started.

Burma halts construction of Thai-backed power plan

The Burmese authorities have halted the construction of a Thai-backed power station, citing concerns over pollution and the environment.

The decision on the coal-fired plant at Dawei comes four months after the controversial Chinese-funded Myitsone hydroelectric dam was halted.

The move is seen as another indication of burgeoning political and economic reforms.

The announcement came from Minister for Electricity Khin Maung Soe.

Speaking to reporters in Rangoon, he said that the decision to stop construction of the power station had been taken after "listening to the people's voice and reading the concerns about the environmental impact of this plant in local media reports".

The 4,000-megawatt plant would have formed part of the huge Dawei development on Burma's southern coastline and activists had warned the project could trigger an influx of "dirty" industry.

"This is intriguing as there had been no real public campaign on the same scale as for Myitsone," said Aung Zaw, the editor of the Thailand-based Irrawaddy magazine.

"This is a pre-emptive move from a government that is increasingly worried about public opinion and stability."

More engagement

The designers of the Dawei Development Project say the opening of the deep sea port and the subsequent development will provide a new east-west trade route, allowing goods from China a land shortcut on their way to European markets.

Plans for the $50bn (£32bn) industrial zone include road and rail links, a fertiliser plant and an oil refinery.

The decision on the power plant comes as the international community continue to deepen their engagement with the once isolated nation.

On Monday, Australia announced that it was easing some of its sanctions as a response to political reforms introduced by the new military-backed civilian government.

Last week William Hague became the first British foreign secretary in more than 50 years to visit Burma. His trip followed on from one by Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state.

Both came as part of efforts to encourage the Burmese authorities towards further reforms and the release of political prisoners.
