"We value the national parliamentary elections in Burma/Myanmar as an expression of the independence and sovereignty of its people. And we affirm our solidarity with all those who are fighting for democracy and acting in the interest of this country’s sovereignty. This is one of the poorest countries in the world. Many years of conflict between different ethnic groups and the central power (inherited from a colonial presence that has always exploited and exacerbated ethnic differences) continues to push the vast majority of its population into deeper poverty and misery. We condemn sanctions that seek to interfere. It is apparent that the pragmatism of the interests of big capital and of the major powers requires a change in approach to this country. The geostrategic location of Myanmar, between China and India, and its natural resources, in particular energy, could play an important role for the EU and for its allies in NATO, notably the United States."@en1
