Quick Update

Excerpt:

"...ASEAN foreign ministers on Tuesday released a watered-down version of a statement on Myanmar which did not mention detained opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi.

The statement said the ministers "expressed concern on the pace of the national reconciliation process" in Myanmar and called for "tangible progress" towards democracy in the country. "

So much for the AIPMC and pressing for reform over business interests.

I wonder if the Asean Foreign ministers really care for
democracy in Myanmar?
Is time that they should join force to demand for Ms Aung San Suu Kyi's freedom.
The people of Myanmar had suffered under the present military's governments.

Actually having foreign policies based on practicalism is extremely dangerous. Afterall, fair weather friends willl only be around when the going is good.

Is this being released collectively, or is each country's foreign minister releasing their own statements?
