 Myanmar calls for foreign aid to eliminate drugs

     Myanmar reiterated Monday determination to continue a 15-year
narcotic elimination plan, although lack of external assistance and
cooperation could jeopardize and prolong the process, according to a
senior Myanmar official in charge of drug control.
     The plan aims to achieve by 2014 a drug-free Myanmar that is in 
line with the joint declaration of the 9-member Association of 
Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to emerge as a drug-free region by 
2020.
