UN chief backs call for 'inclusive' Burma election

Burma's upcoming elections will not be credible without the release of political prisoners, including democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has said.
Mr Ban was speaking after a ministerial meeting in New York of the so-called "Group of Friends" of Burma.

He said the group had called for a "more inclusive" poll on 7 November.

"This is essential for the election to be seen as credible and contribute to Myanmar's stability and development," the UN chief said.

Burma - whose representatives did not attend the meeting - has not publicly responded to Mr Ban's comments.

The "Group of Friends" of Burma includes Australia, the UK, China, France, India, Indonesia, Japan, Norway, Russia, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, the US, Vietnam and the EU.
