( 2 ) General Pervez Musharraf meets Press on official goodwill visit to Myanmar

Also present on the occasion were Minister for Foreign Affairs U Win Aung, Minister for Energy Brig-Gen Lun Thi, Minister of Science and Technology of Pakistan Prof Dr Datta ur Rehman, Mr Tariq Ikram, Minister and Chairman of Export Promotion Bureau, Government of Pakistan and high-ranking officials, Myanmar Ambassador to Pakistan U Soe Win, Pakistani Ambassador Mr Mian Yusuf Shah, departmental heads, officials of the Ministry of Information, editors, Patron of Myanmar Foreign Correspondents Club U Sein Win, President U Sao Kai Hpa, member correspondents, reporters from Myanmar Times and Bangkok-based NHK TV. Director-General U Thaung Tun of Po!
litical Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs acted as master of ceremonies. First, with regard to his official goodwill visit to the Union of Myanmar, Chief Executive and Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee of Islamic Republic of Pakistan His Excellency General Pervez Musharraf said:

It is my unique and personal experience, personal pleasure and honour to have visited this beautiful country of Myanmar and have interacted with the senior leadership including Senior General Than Shwe. It was a great experience and it was a most fruitful, profitable and mutually beneficial for me and my delegation. We are extremely grateful to Myanmar government for having given us this warmth and cordiality and hospitality during our entire stay in this beautiful country. In replying to questions put by journalists, he said, "In connection with the sanctions the answer is very short. We certainly do not support sanctions being imposed on a country because of what is happening in a particular country.

Myanmar and Pakistan share a commonality of this perspective, what happened in 1998 in Pakistan and 1988 in Myanmar were the results of the problems that the countries were suffering in the hands of political forces. Therefore I would say to the Western countries that they need to look at the environment in a particular country from their point of view, that country's point of view, and not from their own points of view. This may be a very self-righteous view of democracy as seen in the West. I think it is not what should be done, one should see, one should have a view of that country's environment and that particular country's environment and the wishes and aspirations of the people of that country and then decide on what actions are to be taken against any particular country. Having said that I would certainly say what happened in 1988 in Myanmar was the dictates of the environment of this country and therefore sanctions against Myanmar are not at all well founded. Replying !
to the sustain- able bilateral relations in future, the General said:

I think what we have done we all shared a common historical perspective, we have had a common colonial experience in the past, we got independence just about 3 and a half months apart from each other, you on 4th January of 1948 and we on 14th August of 1947, we have the same commonality of historical perspective and we have commonality of all views on international issues also. We have certainly historic bonds that we shared with each other. We have strengthened these bonds, historical, cultural bonds can be strengthened through economic, commercial and trade relations. So, with this bonds that we are trying to strengthen. There is no reason why any other government coming in will not sustain whatever we have done. So, I am very sure that whatever we are doing is in the interest of both Pakistan and Myanmar.

So, it will be continuing and it will be sustainable in the future. We have already signed an MoU on science and technology between our two countries and now we need to see and going to detail of focusing on how exactly we can assist in this area for the mutual benefit of the two countries. Little time is required to focus on the exact areas of assistance but we have already signed an MoU in this respect and I think we will go forward from there. In reply to a question on his meeting with Senior General Than Shwe, the General said: The very fact that two of us are people in uniform. Uniform culture has a certain bond of each other. To that extent, I certainly enjoy the relationship with the Senior General and the Chairman. And to that extent, our desire is certainly to get closer to Myanmar and I am sure similar desire was demonstrated by your government - by the government of Senior General Than Shwe - and the future looks very bright.

We certainly are desirous of proceeding on a faster track with this mutual relationship in trade and economy and commerce. And that is why a broader team it here which consists of members who could focus on areas of mutual economic relationship is here. We now need to proceed further and cement our already existing bonds into this trade and commercial bonds. Certainly, the future looks bright. Replying to a question on the programme of an agreement, the General said: "We signed an MoU and then I left my minister here to interact with his counterpart here to identify the areas of focus while I was enjoying myself in Mandalay. I would like to ask the minister what he has achieved. Minister of Science and Technology Prof Dr Datta ur Rehman said, "We had very indepth discussions yesterday with the minister for Science and Technology here.

The areas that we have indentified for cooperation include the area of pharmaceuticals especially pharmaceutical from medicinal plants, your country has the rich heritage of biodiversity and in the plant kingdom and in the engineering sector cooperation in the field of engineering and in biotechnology both agriculture and health biotechnology, development of high yielding plant species using biotechnological means and particularly in the area of information technology and telecommunication where we have launched a major programme in Pakistan and we could share some of our experience and knowledge with our brothers here. So, these are some of the areas that we have identified and we hope to start a collaborative programmes within a matter of months between the two countries. Previously, trade relationships were limited to around 120 million dollars which is barely anything. So therefore, the first task was to have a desire for generating this mutual cooperation and expanding th!
is commercial relationship. After that desire, it is to sit down and identify areas of focus which the minister has highlighted. We have identified the areas of focus.

Now we want to go a step further certainly to execute whatever we identified and what ought to be happening in the coming months certainly. Minister and Chairman of the Export Promotion Bureau Mr Tariq Ikram said, "Our businessmen had very fruitful meeting with the Chamber of Commerce of Myanmar and the areas that have been identified relate to yarn, textile, surgical goods which we are exporting to Germany, the US, the UK etc, and in the pharmaceutical products areas. Apart from that I have had very fruitful meetings with the Minister for Commerce and with the Minister for Industry-1, Minister for Industry-2 and also the Minister for Agriculture and in these areas, there are possibilities that had emerged of a Pakistan being able to help with the plants, fertilizer plants.

There is a possibility of compound fertilizer which has been developed in Pakistan to be exported to Myanmar. Similarly, there are various other oppotunities. Oppotunities for import from Myanmar are of course pulses, sesame seed and are also the timber, teak wood, we are also importing at the moment via Singapore and we are very keen to increase the direct trade between Myanmar and Pakistan for which a kind of commodity trade programme would need to be considered and we have agreed to do that. We also agree a delegation from Myanmar to come to Pakistan and from Pakistan to Myanmar. I think the oppotunities are very significant.

" As a closing remark, General Pervez Musharraf said, "I"ll take this oppotunity our extreme gratitude for the hospitility, the warmth shown by Senior General Than Shwe, his government and the entire Myanmar people. The reception that we got, we were overwhelmed by the warmth of feeling this express for us. I would like to thank the entire people of Myanmar for this warmth and hospitility. We depart from your lovely country with fond memories which we shall cherish in the future definitely and I would also like to take this oppotunity of saying that certainly we look forward to an official visit, a formal visit by the Senior General to Pakistan so that we are given an oppotunity to reciprocate the warmth and feeling that we were awarded here. Thank you ladies and Gentalemen." Then, the Press Conference came to a close.
