EU foreign ministers plan to renew sanctions against Myanmar on Monday to push for democratic change. A draft of a declaration says the military regime in Myanmar has yet to take the steps needed to make planned 2010 elections "credible" and "inclusive." It adds that military leaders must release Nobel peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi and all other political prisoners. Officials said the EU will extend for another 12 months a travel ban on top political officials, an arms embargo and a freeze of Myanmar assets in Europe. The foreign ministers are expected to endorse the declaration at talks in Luxembourg on Monday, officials and diplomats said. The sanctions were put in place in 2006 to protest the junta's crackdown on pro-democracy groups. |

Our Correspondent . Cox’s Bazar
A battalion commanders’ flag meeting between the Bangladesh Rifles and Myanmar’s Nasaka on easing tension in bordering areas ended inconclusively in the Arakan province of Myanmar on Thursday.
Lieutenant Colonel Shawkat Hossen, commanding officer of the 17th Rifles Battalion led the six-member Bangladesh side while Major U Aung Iee, Sector 3 commander of Nasaka, led the six-member Myanmar side.
The meeting continued for an hour, but ended without any decision. The Bangladesh team leader urged his Myanmar counterpart to stop construction of dam, embankment and fencing in the bordering areas in violation of international laws.
The Myanmar team claimed they were not violating international laws and said they had documents in favour of their construction of dam, embankment and fencing 150 feet inside the border.
The Bangladesh team later requested the Myanmar team to stop such works and urged settlement of such matters at higher levels. The Myanmar side refused to stop such works, Shawkat Hossen said at a briefing in Cox’s Bazar in the afternoon after his return from Myanmar. |
