A major tobacco company says it will keep doing business in Burma despite pressure from Britain to stop.
British American Tobacco, which runs a cigarette factory in Burma, says it would not pull out of the country unless full-scale sanctions are imposed.
Earlier this week, British Prime Minister Tony Blair called on all British companies to end all dealings with Burma until pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi is released from detention.
