Lahu National Development Party (Headquarters)
Announcement
Letter No. La ha/095/2007
Date: 14 November 2007
The Lahu National Development Party has learned that Mr Gambari released a statement of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi on her behalf in Singapore on 8 November. We know for whom the recent statement compiled in English was released in a foreign country and on whom she relies. We acknowledge that Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is taking interest in the affairs of national races. Starting from 1993 the party attended the National Convention from start to finish. We, upholding the interests of the Union, held discussions on the wishes of the national races. So, we object to the point that Daw Aung San Suu Kyi was responsible for our party.
The National Convention is a forum of the national races because national races constituted the largest number in each of the eight delegate groups in the discussions of the NC. Therefore, the party supports the forthcoming constitution to be drafted by the Commission for Drafting State Constitution according to fundamental principles and detail basic principles laid down by the NC.
