Washington, May 11 After holding extensive talks with Burma's (Myanmar) military junta and pro-democracy leaders including Aung San Suu Kyi, the US has said that the upcoming general elections in that country would carry no international legitimacy.
"The upcoming elections will carry no international legitimacy. We have made that clear to Burma. As to our efforts to continue to engage, it is why Kurt Campbell went (to Burma)," Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs P J Crowley told reporters at his daily press briefing.
