Singapore policy on Myanmar.

Singapore’s official diplomatic stance is that it wants to engage Myanmar and offer “input,” rather than pressure the regime.

Goh Chok Tong, Singapore’s senior minister and former prime minister, has said that Myanmar’s planned elections in 2010 must be inclusive, and that Aung San Suu Kyi’s
National League for Democracy (NLD) must be part of the process of national reconciliation
“our engagement with Myanmar must take a longer term view beyond 2010. Singapore sees the
army as being part of the problem but also a necessary part of the solution . . . [the solution] will take time.”

The situation in Myanmar has become more complex, and there are several changing
trends. It might have to recognize that a more principled approach is necessary.
