UN Security Council to meet over Myanmar crisis

ng San Suu Kyi, diplomatic sources said.

Asean is divided over the thorny issue of Myanmar, and debate has swirled over how the regional bloc can help bring Myanmar out of the crisis. Meanwhile, the US government warned companies on Wednesday to be extremely wary of doing business in Myanmar, citing the risks of being linked to a military government involved in lawlessness and human rights abuse.

"These entities and sectors have been identified as primary industries providing economic resources for Burma's military regime," the statement said, using the former popular name for the country. The statement, signed by the departments of State, Treasury, Commerce, Labour and Homeland Security, and the US Trade Representative, stressed that it is only an advisory and not a legal order.
