Burma suspected of forming nuclear link with North Korea

Worrying Sign for World and Especially for Indian and Asian Governments

Hillary Clinton today expressed concern over military links between North Korea and Burma, after evidence emerged that the Burmese junta may be trying to acquire nuclear technology from Pyongyang.
Experts said there is no proof of a Burmese nuclear programme but pointed to worrying signs. The Burmese military has been doing business with a North Korean company that specialises in nuclear technology. The junta has also made suspicious purchases of sophisticated dual-use equipment. A North Korean ship suspected of heading to Burma with an unknown cargo turned back after being shadowed by American warships earlier this month. Finally, reports have emerged of a secret visit by senior Burmese officials to North Korea late last year.
“We know that there are also growing concerns about military co-operation between North Korea and Burma, which we take very seriously,” Clinton, the US secretary of state, told journalists in Bangkok. “It would be destabilising for the region. It would pose a direct threat to Burma’s neighbours.”
David Albright, the head of the Washington-based Institute for Science and International Security, which specialises in monitoring nuclear proliferation, said: “There’s no hard evidence, just suspicions right now. We’re watching it.”
Albright said one of the principal causes of suspicion was the link between the Burmese military and a North Korean firm, Namchongang Trading Corp (NCG), which is under UN and US sanctions for its role in trading in nuclear technology. NCG set up an office in Damascus, and western officials have alleged the company channelled equipment and materials towards the construction of a nuclear reactor in Syria which was destroyed by an Israeli air raid in September 2007. NCG’s chief executive is Yun Ho-jin, a nuclear expert who was once North Korea’s delegate to the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Ekawaaz Thought:
In My opinion every country should be allowed to do, whatever they want to and whatever they please to do with nuclear plants. USA and many other European countries have done what they wanted to do with their nuclear energy without any other countries interference and noises.
But when it comes to countries like Iran, Burma or Libya my opinion changes and I am forced to think realistically. So In realistically these countries probably would misuse these nuclear technologies and plan to attack other countries instead of using this technology to keep peace and prosperity in their own country and region.
Burma got one of the worst regimes in the world The Burmese Junta. So I do think that Burma has no business messing with any type of nuclear technology be it for generating power or keeping peace because we just cannot trust Burmese Junta. To have one of most deadly weapon on this planet in the hand of Burmese Junta regime will prove to be disastrous for world and for the Burmese people too.
Present Burmese Junta regime [one of the worst dictatorships on this planet] doesn’t have any right to acquire the nuclear technology because of their way of running country. They had harbors human right abusers, hide their actions and keep their own people under detentions for no reason, keep making daily threats to their own people and kill their own people for supporting democracy.
So I strongly believe that action should be taken to prevent Burmese Junta from acquiring nuclear technology from North Korea. I feel that if we fail to prevent Burma form acquiring nuclear technology from North Korea world will become more unsafe for us.
Once the Burma acquired nuclear technology and become capable for making nuclear weapons, she will not hesitate to hold it over the world’s forehead and put whole world into chaos and start nuclear war crisis similar to one we are seeing today, by North Korea.
So we must take every action and must make every move stop this………………….This is something has to be stopped now and here….

Lord, the Dear Leader is a nightmare. But these guys from Burma… are just another nightmare.
And the UN just inviting them all to some tea. Because that Gambari’s and Ban Ki-moon’s trips to Burma were shameful: achieving nothing and smiling at the Military Junta. But the UN’s behaviour with NK is more or less the same.
