Myanmar says needs time to study Thailand roadmap
Myanmarâs foreign minister said on Saturday officials needed more time to study a Thai plan for democratic transition in the country, which has earned worldwide condemnation over the detention of opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
| Yeah. Can't rush these things, y'know. They've only been in power since, what? 1963? |
âHome grown solution is the best to solve domestic problems. But we donât reject the roadmap,â Myanmar Foreign Minister Win Aung said when asked by Reuters what the Myanmar government thought of the plan. âHowever, it is rather complicated and we need to take time to study it,â he said.
| "We're not real clear on this 'democracy' stuff..." |
Aung said Myanmar was studying the plan. The Thai government has not publicly released details of the plan but diplomats say it involves the immediate release of Suu Kyi and talks between Myanmarâs military rulers, Suu Kyiâs party and ethnic groups.
