G8 Foreign Ministers' Meeting
(Kyoto, June 27, 2008)
Chairman's Statement

G8 Foreign Ministers met in Kyoto on June 26 and 27 to discuss a range of global and regional issues. The meeting exchanged views on the situation in Afghanistan and Zimbabwe - on which we have issued a separate statement respectively - Pakistan, the Middle East, Iran, North Korea, Myanmar and Sudan among other issues.

Myanmar

Foreign Ministers remain committed to ensuring aid reaches those affected by Cyclone Nargis; we therefore call on the authorities of Myanmar to lift all remaining restrictions on the flow of aid and to improve access for foreign aid workers to the affected areas. At the same time, the Ministers expressed concern about the current political situation in Myanmar. We call on Myanmar to foster a peaceful transition to a legitimate, democratic, civilian government. We encourage the authorities of Myanmar to engage all stakeholders in an inclusive and transparent political process. In this context, we call on Myanmar to immediately release political detainees including Aung San Suu Kyi. We strongly support the UN Secretary General's good offices mission and urge Myanmar to cooperate fully with Special Adviser Ibrahim Gambari. We are prepared to respond positively to substantive political progress undertaken by Myanmar.
