Social  Don't ignore Myanmar politics, Suu Kyi tells EU
investors  Share  ·   print   ·    Myanmar opposition leader
Aung San Suu Kyi on Thursday told a European Union business
forum that investors should not ignore the country's political
challenges as it heads towards crucial 2015 elections.  The
veteran activist said constitutional amendment was imperative
for the economic development of the nation, seen as a key
regional developing market as it opens after decades of military
rule.  "Anybody that encourages business or investment or any
other activity in Burma while at the same time totally ignoring
the need to amend the constitution is not being pragmatic," she
said, using the country's former name.  Suu Kyi also rejected
suggestions that her party would slow economic progress if it
came to power.AFP    Recent Article in IN SCHOOL   Shahid Afridi
