It takes two to tango ....



SINGAPORE, July 26 (Reuters) .....
Win Aung stressed that cash-strapped Myanmar was in a hurry to catch up
with its more economically advanced neighbours and aimed to gain lost
ground within the next 10 or 15 years. But he said Myanmar had been
hamstrung by European Union and U.S. sanctions aimed at forcing the ruling
State Peace and Development Council to allow greater freedoms.

SINGAPORE, Oct 3 (AFP) ...........
David Abel said European and US sanctions on Myanmar had little effect on
the economy and added that investments particularly from Europe had not
stopped flowing into the manufacturing, telecommunication, transportation,
oil and gas, forestry and mining sectors.
