Chapter 1188: The President is in Distress
It didn't take long for Ma Xiaobo to come over with another document, but this time it was Trip's itinerary that Muyang wanted. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
The interview lasted 6 hours, hehe, it seems that my guess is correct.
Tripp's itinerary to four Asian countries is Japan, South Korea, Myanmar, and finally Malaysia, 2 days in Japan, 2 days in South Korea, 6 hours in Myanmar, and 1/2 days in Malaysia, and then return home.
On his trip to Myanmar, Tripp will meet directly with Sai Maokang in Yangon, rather than in Naypyidaw, the capital of Myanmar. The specific meeting itinerary is to arrange a very brief external speech, followed by a private meeting. After the private meeting, Semokang will accompany Tripp on a tour of the Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon before boarding a flight to Malaysia at a later date.
It's really very rushed.
The smell of temporary trips is too strong.
Muyang can be sure that this is the only trip to Myanmar that has squeezed out part of the time to visit Malaysia.
It seems that this trip to Myanmar is just to meet with Sai Maokang and say a few words in private, Muyang is sure that the focus is on the time for private talks.
In the evening, Muyang received a call from Sai Maokang.
"Sir, you know about Trip's visit to Burma." Saimao Kang Road.
"Yes, I also deliberately looked at his itinerary, I should have deliberately squeezed out time to meet you in Myanmar." Muyang Road.
"Yes, Tripp personally called me before, and what he and I expressed was that we hope that Myanmar will have its own ideas, make a positive contribution to regional stability in Asia, and not allow some countries to have regional hegemony, I know, he is referring to China."
"Tripp offered to give Myanmar some aid, investment projects, and the lifting of previous economic sanctions against Myanmar." Sai Maokang said.
Mu Yang smiled, "The United States unilaterally imposed economic sanctions on Myanmar, but now it is using this as a condition, this deal is really fine, it is guaranteed to make money without losing money, and it is very domineering, how did you reply." ”
"I told him I would seriously consider it. Maybe it was because I didn't answer him positively that he made this trip to Myanmar. Sir, how do you think I should deal with it, and will our meeting affect the future trip to China? Sai Maokang asked Muyang.
Muyang pondered for a moment, "Don't think too much about it, it won't have any impact on your trip to China." ”
You can listen to what he says, but you don't necessarily need to agree to all of them, even if you are the president of the United States, you can't force you. The purpose of his coming, with the smell of co-optation and warning, is to hope that Burma will come with them, and at most it will be Tripp to express the views of the United States to you, and that's it. ”
"You can eat what you deserve, take what you deserve, and as for the request he mentioned, just be vague."
The two discussed on the phone again before hanging up.
On August 12, U.S. President Denbill Tripp issued an executive order announcing the termination of the National Emergency Response Act (NCA) against Myanmar and the lifting of sanctions against Myanmar.
This paved the way for a trip to Myanmar a few days later.
On August 22, U.S. President Tripp arrived in Yangon from South Korea aboard Air Force One for a visit to Myanmar.
He became the first U.S. president ever to visit Burma while in office.
Sai Maokang greeted him at Yangon airport, accompanied by the vice president of Myanmar, the foreign minister, and many ministers and members of parliament.
The two sides shook hands cordially, and then drove to the former National Assembly building in Yangon.
After visiting the former Capitol building, Tripp gave a speech in the Capitol Square.
"Thank you all for your warm welcome, I am the first U.S. president to visit this country, and I was deeply touched by your hospitality, with children waving the flags of our two countries."
"I had the privilege of visiting the Secretariat, the birthplace of modern Myanmar, and seeing the blueprint of democracy, seeing the Burmese, Chinese, Indians, Buddhists, Mu. Sling, Hindus, and Christians live together peacefully. It is an example of pluralism and tolerance in multiple cultures and faiths, and it is a striking symbol of the country's diversity and regional potential. ”
It is well known that Myanmar is "moving in the right direction," but more progress is needed in its reforms to accelerate the democratization process. ”
"When I took office, I said that the United States would join forces with countries that were willing to loosen their clenched fists. Here, after decades of dictatorship, we have begun to see significant progress in a short period of time. The significance of progress lies in the fact that Myanmar, once closed off to the world, is beginning to play a role in the region and in the world at large. ”
"Our bilateral relationship has had difficulties in the past. Now, I am very pleased that our relationship has improved significantly, and that the United States is ready to help change in Burma。。。。。。 ”
After Tripp spoke, he waved goodbye to the crowd in the square and then had a private meeting with Semokang. Perhaps, this is the ultimate goal of this time.
The two sides discussed the rule of law, justice, police and army in Myanmar. Poverty alleviation and agricultural development for farmers in rural areas, as well as health and education improvement were also discussed.
Tripp specifically mentioned that he would like to see Myanmar maintain its independent development and play a greater role in Asia.
The reference is self-evident.
The private meeting between the two lasted nearly two hours, and after lunch, after a short break, Sai Maokang accompanied Tripp to visit the Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon.
Known as one of the four wonders of Southeast Asia, the Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon is one of the holy places of Buddhism in Myanmar with its hair adorned with the hair of the Buddha.
Because of Trip's visit, the Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon has been closed, there are no tourists, only security personnel remain, Tripp and Sai Maokang and their party, accompanied by officials and bodyguards, took off their shoes and walked into the pagoda.
And, of course, a large number of journalists followed.
"Burmese people believe that the day of a person's birth determines his or her zodiac signs, and there are eight constellations, representing the seven days of the week and the morning and afternoon of Wednesday, and eight species of animals, namely the bird, the tiger, the lion, the ivory elephant, the ivory elephant, the rat, the guinea pig and the dragon, representing those born from Sunday to Saturday, and each zodiac sign has a Buddha image."
Sai Maokang and Tripp walked slowly side by side and explained to him the small stupas around the Shwedagon Pagoda in Ruijin.
Tripp became interested and found the constellation Buddha statue that represented him, which was a guinea pig, and said with a smile: "Am I a mouse, it's really interesting, it is somewhat similar to the Western constellations but very different." ”
"What should I do now?" Tripp asked with interest.
"Believers would offer flowers to the Buddha and splash water to pray and make wishes." Saimao Kang Road.
Tripp took a string of jasmine flowers, walked to the statue, placed the string on the altar of the Buddha, and then picked up a cup from the side, sprinkled water on the Buddha's body, and washed the Buddha's body.
The wind blew the stupa string of bells and shook slightly, and the jingle bells rang non-stop, and people felt that this scene was so harmonious, and those reporters kept taking pictures and videos to record this scene.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred, and some people couldn't help but cry out in surprise, and some of the bodyguards who were guarding Tripp also noticed the abnormality and ran towards Tripp. (To be continued.) )
