   A Concrete Example of Good Neighbours

    It is the consistent policy of the Union of Myanmar
to try to develop friendly and cordial relationship
with all nations of the world particularly
neighbouring nations. However, due to the sharing of
common borders it is only natural that issues can
sometime arrive between neighbours. In such instances,
Myanmar has always followed the practice of minimizing
the magnitude of the issues and try to resolve them
entirely.
    A concrete example is the recent development at
Myanmar-Thai border. In order to calm down the
situation following the seizure of the Myanmar Embassy
in Bangkok on October 1st and 2nd, the Myanmar
authorities were compelled to take certain
administrative measures. Nonetheless in the spirit of
resolving the issue U Win Aung, Minister of Foreign invited his Thai
counterpart Dr. Surin Pitsuwan for talks in Yangon.
The Thai Foreign Minister had a fruitful and
successful discussion not only with Foreign Minister U
Win Aung but was also received by Secretary-1 
Lt. Gen Khin Nyunt . The talks were marked by mutual
sentiments of goodwill, respect and understanding and
both sides expressed great satisfaction at the
results. Consequently, the situation at the
Myanmar-Thai has returned to normalcy from 
24-11-99. The happy turn of affairs once again
frustrated the attempts by some individuals and
organizations to place obstacles in the relations
between the two neighbours.
