REPUBLIC of FRANCE

FRENCH PARLIAMENT
The Chairman of the Foreign affairs commission

Paris, June 21th, 1999

To M. Hubert VEDRINE, Foreign affairs Minister of France

Dear Hubert.

The Comité de soutien à Aung San Suu Kyi contacted me on the matter of
the present  political deadlock in Burma, in spite of the readiness of
the NLD to begin a political dialogue.

Consequently, I am preparing to engage the French Parliament in an
action supporting the Burmese democrats, following the example of the
European, Swedish, Norvegian and Belgian Parliaments.

Could you please let me know your reaction and your commentaries. What
is the state about present diplomatic contacts between France and the
Burmese Junta ?

Dear Hubert
 ...
Best regards
 ...

Jack LANG
