Eyeing a resounding victory in next month’s historic polls, Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi has questioned the secrecy surrounding an operation against Naga militants along Indo-Myanmar border by the Indian Army and said she will ensure transparency in such exercises if voted to power.
She said transparency was a must as lack of it creates suspicion, which “erodes” foundation of friendship. “If we as neighbours are to establish peace along our borders and genuine understanding between the two countries, there has to be transparency,” she told Karan Thapar of India Today TV.”
“Good ties” with India and China, she said, can play a significant role in bridging differences between the two Asian giants. She said a raft of reforms including bringing the powerful military under civilian Government, independence of judiciary, reconciliation among ethnic groups, besides opening up of the economy will be initiated if her National
league for Democracy forms the Government.
