(C) Pol-EconCouns delivered reftel demarche September 29 to
MFA's Asia Dept. Head Martin Hermann and Head of Section for
Southeast Asia and Pacific Mathilde Gry Nielsen. In
response, Hermann expressed appreciation and noted that while
the EU is not united on Burma, Denmark:
- supports the sanctions under the EU common position,
- is scaling up humanitarian/development assistance as
allowed, and
- is keen to engage with others, including the USG and Asian
nations. Hermann advocated a joint U.S.-EU approach on Burma
and, to the extent possible, on Asian issues in general.
