Myanmar to Work for Blue Print for ASEAN Goal
Xinhua
14-DEC-98
YANGON (Dec. 14) XINHUA - "Myanmar will work together
with other members of the Association of Southeast Asian
Nations (ASEAN) to develop a blue print for the successful
implementation of the noble goals and tasks set out in the
ASEAN Vision 2020," Senior-General Than Shwe was
quoted by an official Information Sheet as saying Monday.
Than Shwe, chairman of the Myanmar State Peace and
Development Council and prime minister, issued an arrival
statement when touching down in Hanoi Monday to attend
the Sixth Summit of the ASEAN due to open on Tuesday.
Than Shwe warned in his statement that today ASEAN faces
a number of daunting challenges, saying that, Myanmar,
however, is confident that with the unity and solidarity of
its
members, ASEAN will surely be able to overcome them.
He expressed the satisfaction that the summit will also
provide the opportunity for ASEAN nations to discuss
regional and other issues of mutual interest with the
leaders
of China, Japan and South Korea, major dialogue partners
from East Asia.
Than Shwe expects to have cordial and meaningful
deliberations with leaders of other ASEAN member nations
as well as the three East Asian countries.
It is the first time for Than Shwe to attend a formal ASEAN
summit after Myanmar became a full member of the ASEAN
in July 1997.
