BarackObama, He say about Myanmar.

Today marks the beginning of a new chapter in the relationship between the United States and Myanmar. Since I announced a new U.S. opening toMyanmar  in November, President Thein Sein, Aung San Suu Kyi and the people of Myanmar have made significant progress along the path to democracy.  The United States has pledged to respond to positive developments in Myanmar and to clearly demonstrate America's commitment to the future of an extraordinary country, a courageous people, and universal values. That is what we are doing.

Today, I am nominating our first U.S. Ambassador to Myanmar in 22 years, Derek Mitchell, whose work has been instrumental in bringing about this new phase in our bilateral relationship. We also are announcing that the United States will ease its bans on the exportation of financial services and new investment in Myanmar.  Opening up greater economic engagement between our two countries is critical to supporting reformers in government and civil society, facilitating broad-based economic development, and bringing Myanmar out of isolation and into the international community.

Of course, there is far more to be done. The United States remains concerned about Myanmar’s closed political system, its treatment of minorities and detention of political prisoners, and its relationship with North Korea. We will work to establish a framework for responsible investment from the United States that encourages transparency and oversight, and helps ensure that those who abuse human rights, engage in corruption, interfere with the peace process, or obstruct the reform process do not benefit from increased engagement with the United States.  We will also continue to press for those who commit serious violations of human rights to be held accountable. We are also maintaining our current authorities to help ensure further reform and to retain the ability to reinstate selected sanctions if there is backsliding.

Barack Obama and His Family

Americans for decades have stood with the Myanmar people in their struggle to realize the full promise of their extraordinary country. In recent months, we have been inspired by the economic and political reforms that have taken place, Secretary Clinton’s historic trip to Naypyidaw and Yangon, the parliamentary elections, and the sight of Aung San Suu Kyi being sworn into office after years of struggle. As an iron fist has unclenched in Myanmar, we have extended our hand, and are entering a new phase in our engagement on behalf of a  more democratic and prosperous future for the Myanmar people.
