Teenage Chinese blogger released after outcry on Internet BEIJING, 24 Sept—Police in China on Monday released a teenager detained for questioning on his microblog authorities’ handling of a man’s death, a move that triggered an Internet outcry over censorship. State media had said that the junior high school student, surnamed ;CPI YCU VJG ſTUV RGTUQP detained under strict new rules to tackle what the government calls the spread of online rumours. The release of the 16-year-old in the western

province of Gansu represents a victory for many microbloggers, who protested online after his detention last Tuesday for comments on his Twitter-like microblog. Yang had said that a man described by police as having committed suicide had been murdered instead. Police said the man committed suicide by jumping from a high-rise building on September 12, after a visit to a karaoke club and that Yang’s “phony� posts had prompted some residents to stage a protest.

The /WMGUJ #ODCPK NGF ĹżTO has also alleged that TRAI recommendations favour incumbent telecom operators.

China’s top court and prosecutor said in early September that people would be charged with defamation if online rumours they created were visited by 5,000 Internet users or reposted more than 500 times.

Participating in the day-long National Integration Council (NIC) meeting, being held against the backdrop of recent communal riots in Muzaffarnagar, they demanded an oversight mechanism to prevent and control the social media from running riot in such situations. The meeting, chaired by the Prime Minister, expressed serious concern over growing incidents of communal violence and the need for parties to stop exploiting them for political gains, especially with elections round the corner. Union Ministers, Leaders of the Opposition in

Parliament, chief ministers, leaders of national and regional political parties, eminent people from media, business and public life attended the meeting of the 148-member body. Summing up their mood, the Prime Minister said the recent communal violence in some cases have brought to notice circulation of fake videos aimed at inciting the feeling of hatred in one community towards the other. He said before this, in 2012, people have fanned hatred against the people of the Northeast which re-

sulted in their mass exodus. “Social media helps youngsters to get new information and new thought. It should be used in ensuring brotherhood and communal harmony. “It is necessary to maintain independence of giving opinion and views by people in social media. But at the same time, it is also important that we do not let miscreants and troublemakers to misuse social media. I feel today’s meeting will look into the issue of misuse of social media and deliberate on it,� he said. PTI

New Light of Myanmar ARTICLE

Today’s inexorable march of globalization has made it impractical for countries to remain in isolation, with interaction and cooperation playing an increasingly vital role. Good relations among neighbouring countries can be expected to have positive outcomes that contribute to national security and national interest. In accordance with the saying, while friends can be chosen, neighbours cannot, Myanmar appreciates its external realities and has always worked toward maintaining and improving good relations with neighbouring countries that share a common border with it. Myanmar has the good tradition of friendship with neighbouring countries built on the foundation of peace. Minor issues that were encountered have been resolved amicably through peaceful interaction. There is also the tradition of developing friendship with neighbouring countries through the Ten Bandung Principles adopted at the Bandung Conference of 1955. Myanmar and Thailand have a long history of relationship that saw both smooth and turbulent periods. Ensuring good relations between Thailand and Myanmar is the responsibility of both countries, with the principal motivation being the inextricable relationship between the stability and security of border areas and the national interests of both countries. Observers seem to agree that political changes in Myanmar after 2011 have tended to be positive. The current political, economic, administrative and private sector reforms in Myanmar and the building of domestic peace are interrelated and synergistic. Without successful domestic peace-building, the ongoing reforms will face challenges and obstacles. For this reason, the Government is making special efforts for building peace. In Myanmar, there are about 130 nationalities that have descended from 8 major national groups. At present, 16 ethnic armed groups are in existence, all of them operating in border areas. Everyone needs to appreciate the impossibility of achieving democracy through a programme of armed conflict. The Government has been making sincere efforts for domestic peace-building. Through the good practice and programme of joining hands where commonalities exist and having a dialogue where differences exist and adopting an approach characterized by flexibility and fairness, cease-fire agreements have been signed with 14 of the 16 ethnic armed groups. These developments in the peace process are associated

with the changes in the Myanmar political process and constitute a victory for the State. Changes in Myanmar politics have strengthened the position of Myanmar and improved friendship in international relations including those with neighbouring countries. Friendship and good relations with neighbouring countries represent forces that contribute to political stability in Myanmar and are a requirement for the peaceful and stable future of the country. As Myanmar politics correctly moves towards democracy and Myanmar’s geopolitical importance increases, the warm and friendly handshakes of leaders of neighbouring countries carry great significance. Leaders of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar and the Royal Kingdom of Thailand have exchanged friendship visits since the establishment of bilateral relations. When the new government assumed responsibilities in the Republic of the Union of Myanmar, bilateral relations and friendship were enhanced. President U Thein Sein has visited Thailand twice and Prime Minister and Defence Minister of Thailand, Mrs Yingluck Shinawatra, has visited Myanmar 3 times. Both countries firmly believe that through the exchange of visits by the Heads of State/ Government of the 2 countries, cooperation will be enhanced, leading to greater political and economic development. In 2012 and 2013, Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, paid 3 friendship visits to Thailand, and the Chief of Defence Forces of the Royal Thai Armed Forces, General Tanasak Patimapragorn, has paid 4 visits to Myanmar. During the visits of the Chiefs of the Armed Forces of the two countries, agreements were reached not only to promote relations between the Armed Forces but also to enhance cooperation for the stability and security of border areas in the two countries. In May 2013, the Commander-In-Chief of Defence Services was awarded the “Knight Grand Cross, (First Class) of the Most Noble Order of the Crown of Thailand” by His Majesty the King of Thailand in recognition of his efforts to promote cooperation and friendly relations between the Armed Forces of the two countries. The Myanmar Armed Forces delegation led by Senior General Min Aung Hlaing attended the First ThailandMyanmar High Level Committee Meeting (HLC) held in Thailand from 15 to 19

From Good-Neighbourly Relations to Stability and Peace September. During the visit, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing met with the Prime Minister and Defence Minister of Thailand, Mrs Yingluck Shinawatra. During the meeting, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing noted that the history of bilateral relations dates back 65 years. And the relations featured all three aspects of diplomatic, military attaché and neighbourly relations. Both countries will intensively maintain true friendship because our two countries have land and water border lines and have opportunity to cooperate by promoting current situation. He highlighted the fact that the Armed Forces has been participating in and contributing to the political, administrative and economic reforms being undertaken by the new Government and that continued progress is to be expected. The Prime Minister and Defence Minister of Thailand, Mrs. Yingluck Shinawatra, discussed in particular ways to resolve the issue of workers, cooperation on the resolution of border issues, and economic cooperation. During their meeting, Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, and the Prime Minister and Defence Minister of Thailand, Mrs Yingluck Shinawatra, discussed the problem of narcot-

sub-region, construction of a deep sea port and the extension of Maesot-Mawlamyine flight are being undertaken under bilateral economic cooperation programmes. For human resource development, exchanges of scholars and study tours have been organized. Myanmar is making contributions to regional stability and security through bilateral comprehensive arrangements not only with Thailand but also with the other neighbouring countries such as the People’s Republic of China, India and the Lao PDR. Comprehensive security goes be-

naymyothiha ic drugs in the border area of the two countries, illegal arms smuggling, human trafficking, transnational crime, the issue of workers, cooperation for the stability and security of border areas, continuation of surveying border areas by leaving uncertain areas which have to negotiate for boundary demarcation efforts, establishment of businesses from Thailand in border areas inside Myanmar, bilateral cooperation on the Dawei deep sea port project and the enhancing relations between the Armed Forces of the two countries. Both Myanmar and Thailand have Buddhist majorities and similar culture and customs. The ethnic peoples are also similar. With the Myanmar political process after 2011, those affinities have acquired a greater significance. During the period of the new Government, visits have been exchanged by the leaders of the two countries and historical milestones established. Friendship sporting events have been organized for the Armed Forces of the two countries and cooperation in the greater Mekong

yond the conventional, solely military aspects and takes a non-conventional all-round security outlook encompassing economic, environmental and human security, which includes violence, epidemics of infectious diseases, trafficking of narcotic drugs, energy and humanitarian issues. Both external factors from outside the country and domestic social issues among citizens may affect comprehensive security. In implementing comprehensive security by Myanmar and Thailand, bilateral cooperation can be seen in areas such as combating narcotic drugs, workers from Myanmar, anti-trafficking, elimination of violence and termination of insurgency in border areas. Further, as part of cooperation between the Armed Forces of the two countries, ranking officers from the Myanmar Armed Forces are invited to participate as observers in the US-Thai joint military exercises, which has led to greater friendship between the two countries. In addition, regular annual meetings, such as High Level Committee Meet-

ing, Senior Staff Talk, Joint Boundary Committee Meeting, Joint Technical Committee Meeting, Regional Border Committee Meeting, and Township Border Committee Meeting, are also conducted in a warm and friendly atmosphere. The aim of the HLC meeting attended by Senior General Min Aung Hlaing was “the further improvement of relations between the two Armed Forces for the interest and peace of residents in border areas”, which brings good prospects for development and stability for the entire national people. With increasing interaction and warm friendship between the two countries, the Myanmar-Thai border areas are achieving greater stability day by day with a palpable decrease in conflicts. The stability of border areas is associated with the national interests of both countries and is deemed important and desirable by both sides. Bilateral friendship will be strengthened by the long border, geopolitical interrelationships and mutual investments. The MyanmarThai relations have provided significant assistance in the building of these with the national armed groups by the State. The morning program of the VOA aired after the meeting between Senior General Min Aung Hlaing and the Prime Minister and Defence Minister of Thailand, Mrs Yingluck Shinawatra, included a statement on Thailand’s stance toward Myanmar and its policy for the border areas: “The Thai government will not accept any organization using Thai territory as a base and opposing the Myanmar government. It will co-operate on issues of migrant workers and combating narcotic drugs in the 2 countries.” The statement indicates a more

laing

friendly, open and improved relationship between Myanmar and Thailand during the current transition to democracy that is taking place in Myanmar than that during the previous periods. From a security perspective, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing and the Prime Minister and Defence Minister of Thailand, Mrs Yingluck Shinawatra, discussed cooperation arrangements on bilateral comprehensive security that will lead to a gradual termination of trafficking of narcotic drugs and arms, human trafficking, transnational crimes and violence. Overall, there can be no doubt that frank and cordial discussions between Senior General Min Aung Hlaing and the Prime Minister and Defence Minister of Thailand, Mrs Yingluck Shinawatra, will bring positive benefits for both countries. To sum up, while the Myanmar-Thai relations have had periods of turbulence due to power balancing and rivalries among the major powers, the two countries have been able to go through them peacefully and amicably through consultation and coordination. The Myanmar-Thai relations under the current Government have improved to an unprecedented degree and efforts need to be continue for their further improvement. Myanmar’s adoption of the five principles of peaceful coexistence has also contributed to the building of warm and friendly relations between the two countries. The current circumstances have all the indications of broader and more successful cooperation in the future in such areas as politics, economics, security, culture, and science and technology. Long-term interests and goals of the two countries as well as stability and peace are being realized through goodneighbourly relations.
