Indonesian Foreign Minister Hassan Wirajuda says Burma's failure to move toward democracy has hurt stability across Southeast Asia.
Speaking in Jakarta today-Friday, Mr. Wirajuda said Burma was disturbing the balance of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations by not implementing democratic reforms.
At a summit in Kuala Lumpur last December, ASEAN nations made an unprecedented united call for Burma's military rulers to take concrete steps towards democracy, and to release pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi from house arrest.
Burma has said it will explain its plan to restore democracy to the country when it hosts an upcoming ASEAN envoy.
In December, the Myanmar Times quoted Burmese Foreign Minister Nyan Win as saying his Malaysian counterpart, Syed Hamid Albar, will visit Burma as soon as this month.
