Burma 'seriously considering' Asean poll observers
Burma is ''seriously considering'' allowing observers from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) to attend its upcoming by-elections, the group of nations said on Tuesday.
President Thein Sein told this to Asean Secretary-General Surin Pitsuwan, who was on a four-day visit to Burma.
If observers are allowed for the 1 April poll for 48 parliamentary seats, it would be a first for the country.
Burma has been awarded the Asean chairmanship in 2014.
