Myanmar denies trying to obtain N.Korean nukes
AFP – 4 hrs ago
Myanmar President Thein Sein has denied his country is trying to obtain nuclear weapons from North Korea, describing allegations of a covert programme as "unfounded".
"We are not acquiring nuclear weapons from North Korea," the Straits Times newspaper on Tuesday quoted him as saying in an interview during a four-day state visit to Singapore.
"These allegations are unfounded and based on suspicion by some Western countries."
A 2010 United Nations report accused Pyongyang of supplying banned nuclear and ballistic equipment to Myanmar, Iran and Syria.
