Myanmar Seeks More Carrots as U.S. Moves to Ease Sanctions

Myanmar wants the U.S. to lift sanctions faster after Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said some restrictions on investment and financial services would be eased, according to an adviser to President Thein Sein.

“They should do more if they want to see us reaching the mission faster,” Nay Zin Latt said in an April 7 e-mail. “The government is doing its job, which is national reconciliation and being a democratic society. This is the time giving more carrots will work more.”
