For over a month we have followed with great interest news of the march of people's power in Myanmar/Burma, watching Buddhist monks, students and ordinary people peacefully taking to the streets and demanding that the dictatorial Myanmar/Burma government conduct real dialogue with the people and democratic organizations so as to build a true democratic system that allows for a healthy, competitive pluralistic political society and that respects human rights.

We, the undersigned Vietnamese individuals, organizations and associations struggling for a true Democratic and Prosperous Vietnam , would like to share the following sentiments:

1. We wholeheartedly support the peaceful struggle of the People of Myanmar/Burma in order to establish a strong and stable civil society within a democratic, pluralistic political system.  A successful democratic struggle of the people of Myanmar/Burma  will contribute to the stability and security of Myanmar/Burma  in particular, ASEAN and the world in general.
2. We are holding the current government of Myanmar/Burma responsible for the security and safety of these peaceful demonstrators.  The military junta of Myanmar/Burma should take this opportunity to hold direct talks with the people and democratic organizations of Myanmar/Burma  such as the National Democratic League, led by Madame Aung San Syu Kyi, the Nationalist Students Organization of 1988, and venerable Buddhist clerics to create a peaceful democracy for Myanmar/Burma.
3. We petition the Secretary of the Association of South East Asian Nations and member countries to raise his voice a in timely fashion to support the people of Myanmar/Burma in their current struggle for democracy, and we request that the military government of Myanmar/Burma conduct peaceful dialogue with the opposition in order to work out the differences between the people and the government.
4. We are calling upon the United Nations, the United States , the European Union other democratic nations, human rights organizations, and international press and media agencies to raise their voices to support and assist with solutions for the current struggle for democracy of the Myanmar/Burma people. 

We resolutely condemn the government of Myanmar/Burma for the use of any violence to suppress peaceful demonstrators.  We would like to express our sincere admiration and understanding of the present difficulties that the people of Myanmar/Burma are going through, but we believe wholeheartedly that the non-violent way to struggle for democracy of these brave citizens will be successful.
