Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs written question – answered at on 14 December 2004.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the roadmap to democracy in Burma put forward by the Government of Thailand.
The UK welcomes all efforts to promote reconciliation in Burma. We support the Thai Government's engagement and effort on Burma, including the Bangkok Process meeting held in December 2003.
The Burmese State Peace and Development Council roadmap to build a modern, developed democratic nation was set out in August 2003. The UK remains committed to helping Burma achieve national reconciliation and we will respond positively to tangible progress. However, it is essential that the road map is an inclusive and transparent process, involving all political parties and ethnic groups in Burma, if it is to be credible.
