U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton visited Burma in December 2011. She said that some travel and financial restrictions would be relaxed and that the Burmese leaders would be allowed to visit the U.S.
The U.S. is naming an ambassador to Burma and establishing an office for a U.S. agency for international development. The U.S. also announced that it would now allow financial transactions in support of certain humanitarian and non-profit activities.
Australia also announced that it will ease travel and financial restrictions on about 250 Burmese nationals, including President U Thein Sein.
The British Prime Minister, David Cameron, who visited Burma just a couple of weeks ago, announced that the U.K. is considering suspending sanctions.
In light of all the change that has already taken place in Burma, are other countries correct to suspend economic sanctions? Are you aware of this?
