Suu Kyi warns against 'reckless optimism' on Burma reforms
Burmese opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi has warned against ''reckless optimism'' over reforms in the country.
Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Bangkok, she said the process was not yet irreversible.
The parliament of which she recently became a member was still far from democratic, she added.
She also called on investors to meet the country's needs, saying that job creation and training was vital for Burma's young population.
She added that when investment comes into the country, then it should not fuel corruption or inequality.
''I am here not to tell you what to do but to tell you what we need,'' she said in her first major speech outside Burma for more than 20 years.
She urged investors who are planning to put money into Burma to do so with an awareness of the need for improvement in the lives of ordinary Burmese people.
