Foreign Minister Makhdoom Shah Mahmood Qureshi has described the trial of Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi as an unfortunate development and urged the Government of Myanmar to consider reviewing their decision.

 

Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi's long years of detention have been a cause of concern to the international community. Her early release would serve the fundamental interests of Myanmar with which Pakistan has enjoyed close cooperative relations.
