| Burma's president Thein Sein has reportedly indicated he has no plans to change the country's parliamentary oath.
His stance threatens to increase tensions between the government and newly-elected Aung San Suu Kyi's opposition party, the National League for Democracy.
Members of the NLD have been boycotting parliament, refusing to swear to "safeguard" the army-created constitution.
The party had appealed to the president directly over the stalemate, asking that the wording of the oath be changed from "safeguard" to "respect" the constitution.
