highlighted the importance of four main principles demanded by Aung San Suu Kyi and National League for Democracy (NLD), on February 2, 2009, when they met with the visiting UN envoy, i.e.
* to put more pressure on the military regime to release all political prisoners including Aung San Suu Kyi immediately and unconditionally
* to review on the constitution which is designed to legitimize military rule in Burma and adopted unilaterally in 2008
* to recognize the 1990 election result in which Aung San Suu Kyi's party won landslide victory
* to allow to convene the people's parliament based on 1990 election result
These would be the minimum terms needed to be fulfilled before NLD could have a dialogue with the Burmese military rulers, they reaffirmed.
They are the mandates given by our leaders and it is our duty to realise them, he added.
