Suharto Backs Asean Bid
Visiting Indonesian President Suharto told Prime Minister Gen. Than Shwe
that he supports Rangoon's proposed entry into the Association of
Southeast Asian Nations. Suharto also vowed to boost economic ties
between the two countries. Indonesian Foreign Minister Ali Alatas
reaffirmed Asean's policy of engagement with Rangoon, saying the group
"will not make as a precondition or a criterion for membership the internal
situation of a country."
