In her first public appearance in India since the National League for Democracy government came to power in Myanmar in March, State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi appealed to “friends and neighbours” to understand the complexities of the volatile Arakan (Rakhine) state, noting that decades-old tensions cannot be resolved in a day in a “very young democracy” even at this Catastrophe.
Suu Kyi arrived in Goa on Sunday morning and in the evening spoke at the BRICS outreach event with leaders from the seven members of BIMSTEC.
“Our region is confronted by numerous challenges including security threats including rising terrorism, violent extremism, climate change, natural and man-made disasters and even the danger of nuclear proliferation,” Suu Kyi said at the roundtable meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Terming “rising terrorism’ as a source of “common concern”, Suu Kyi said that the international community must be “united in standing together against all forms of manifestations of violence extremism relating to religion, cultural and social intolerance”. (Courtesy of rvisiontv.com)
