Video: William Hague welcomes Burma reform but says more needs to be done Mr Hague's visit to Burma is the first by a British Foreign Secretary to the country for more than half a century. Speaking after talks with pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi in Rangoon he said he supported President Thein Sein's dialogue with the noble prize-winner who is likely to be returned to parliament in the April by-elections. "Progress towards democracy will continue to be made," Mr Hague said, but he warned that the government would have to ensure the by-elections, were "free and fairly held and visibly free and fair in the eyes of the world." We look to the government to improve humanitarian access to areas of ethnic conflict, and to ensure that there are elections, by-elections that will take place on the first of April. Mr Hague said there was a risk that the government's unexpected reforms had generated excitement and people would forget that the reforms have not been fully completed.
