It’s Burma again

A small but symbolically important decision from the Government:

The Government is to change its position on and return to calling it .

The Asian nation was known as Burma until 1989 when the government changed it to Myanmar.

The Government has accepted a recommendation from Foreign Minister to use Burma. Mr McCully said the change signalled that refused to recognise the legitimacy of the military regime.

A very good call.
