Indonesia wants Suu Kyi in Myanmar democracy process
February 28th, 2008 | by Admin |JAKARTA - Indonesia wants to see democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi included in the political process in military-ruled Myanmar, Foreign Minister Hassan Wirayuda said Wednesday.
Myanmar’s Foreign Minister Nyan Win last week confirmed to his Southeast Asian counterparts that the military’s new constitution would bar widow Aung San Suu Kyi from running in elections that have been slated for 2010 as she had been married to a foreigner.
Wirayuda said that Indonesia, the largest member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations — to which Myanmar also belongs — should along with ASEAN still engage with the regime to push for an inclusive political process.
