In Focus: Burma open for business, not its people.
Den seneste udvikling i Burma med suppleringsvalg, frigivelse af politiske fanger og økonomiske reformer har åbnet op for et nyt regionalt engagement i det geo-politisk vigtige asiatiske land.
The future of the huge groups of refugees from Burma now living in refugee camps or as illegal immigrants in neighboring countries is one of the complex issues for the region.
