US-Burma Ambassadors

From the BBC:
"US to exchange ambassadors with Burma"

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has announced that Washington will start the process of exchanging ambassadors with Burma. The announcement came hours after the country's most prominent political dissidents were released from jail. US President Barack Obama described the move as a "substantial step forward". The move is seen as one of the key demands of Western nations before international sanctions can be eased. The US stopped short of lifting them. Mr Obama said he had asked officials to take "additional steps to build confidence" with Burma. "Much more remains to be done to meet the aspirations of the Burmese people, but the United States is committed to continuing our engagement," he said.

^ It seems that Burma wants to finally end its isolation with the international community. First Burma released political prisioners (many held since 1988) and on the surface seems to want to allow for a more liberal government. I hope these changes come about in real terms and not merely on paper. ^
