CEBU — The Philippines called on Myanmar yesterday to release opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi and take "concrete" steps toward democracy.
President Arroyo, who held a closed-door meeting with Myanmar Prime Minister Soe Win on the sidelines of the 12th Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit Saturday, expressed hope the extension of Suu Kyi’s house arrest last May "would be the last."
Myanmar has vowed to accelerate democratic reforms by following its "roadmap" to democracy, which has been criticized by other countries as a sham.
