Suu Kyi Upset by 'Myanmar' Use

23 November 2012

Aung San Suu Kyi has expressed disappointment over the fact that New Zealand and Australia have  recognized Myanmar as the official name for her country, Australian Associated Press reported. Myanmar was a name chosen by its military rulers, rather than Burma. “The outside world has been very supportive and I think now they need to be a little bit more careful about how they support us,” the opposition leader said after meeting New Zealand Prime Minister John Key on Thursday.
