Myanmar condemns US 'interference' at Apec

Yangon - Myanmar's, formerly Burma, ruling junta on Tuesday condemned the United States for using the Asia Pacific Economic Co-operation (Apec) summit in Bangkok as a grandstand to support opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi.

"The government of Myanmar was disappointed to hear that, during the Apec summit, the United States opposed Myanmar's progress toward democracy and continued to advocate policies which undermine Myanmar's social, political and economic stability," a government statement said.

After a meeting with Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra on Sunday, American President George Bush urged Apec nations to support the return of democratic rule in Myanmar, and release Nobel Peace laureate Suu Kyi from house arrest.
