| Subject: Idiot: Cameron said Britain would argue in favor of suspending EU sanctions on Burma Sat Apr 14, 2012 4:07 am | |
| David Cameron became the first sitting British prime minister to visit Burma since independence in 1948, in a day that took him from the grand surrounds of the presidential palace to an emotional meeting with the Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi.
In the old colonial capital of Rangoon, the normally confident Cameron appeared a little starstruck as he became the first western leader to meet Aung San Suu Kyi in Burma. Their talks took place in a cramped room in the house where Aung San Suu Kyi was held under arrest for 15 years.
A few hours earlier the prime minister had met President Thein Sein in the gaudy presidential palace in the soulless Burmese capital of Naypyidaw, 250 miles to the north of Rangoon. Advertisement: Story continues below
The meeting – held in a grand marble hall that could accommodate a tennis court or two – was cordial, if slightly stilted, as Cameron acknowledged the president's role in pushing political reforms in Burma.

The prime minister decided to tack on a visit to Burma to the end of his long- planned tour of Japan and south-east Asia after the success of the parliamentary by-elections on 1 April. Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy won 43 of the 44 seats it contested in a landslide victory.
