Myanmar junta should be offered shared rule: Indonesia FM

Both ASEAN and China need to play an active role in helping Myanmar develop a roadmap to democratization and the freeing of political prisoners, he said.

Despite China's insistence that it will not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, Wirajuda expressed confidence that China could be brought to the table.

"China played a role and has been playing a role despite the notion of non-interference," he said.

"Behind the scenes, China is working, including last week because China in a way put pressure on the regime in Myanmar to facilitate the visit of Gambari."

Indonesia could also play a significant role by sharing its experience in the transition from military government to full fledged democracy, he said.
