Department UN Affairs Division Deputy Director Sun Xiaobo on
November 29 told PolOff that China is willing to consider
various proposals in the UN conducive to helping Burma solve
its current problems. Specifically, China can support a
Burma "Group of Friends" or "Core Group" in the UN (reftel),
but only if the Government of Burma supports the proposal and
participates in the group. China's experience in the
Six-Party Talks (on denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula)
has shown that it is very important that the "concerned
government" participate in any mechanism to solve an
international problem, Sun said.
