Description:
Summary: "Briefing the Ambassador on his recent trip
to Burma, Vice Foreign Minister Wang Yi said the ongoing
"political reconciliation and democratic process" are the
domestic affairs of Burma and should therefore be addressed
by the Burmese Government and people themselves. The
international community could be of assistance, but otherwise
should not interfere. VFM Wang said Burmese leaders
described the ongoing dialogue with opposition leader Aung
San Suu Kyi as "still in the confidence-building period,
clarifying misunderstandings and misgivings." ASSK, the
Burmese leaders complained, is "stubborn," "feels she is
always right and everyone else is always wrong," and is "hard
to talk to." VFM Wang also reported that Burmese leaders
expressed eagerness to resume bilateral dialogue with the
United States; Wang asked pointedly about U.S. willingness.
Drawing upon ref email points, the Ambassador urged China to
use its influence with the regime to promote genuine
dialogue, which would require the rel
ease of opposition leaders from arrest and detention." End
