Thanks Polyesco.
I think we can safely expect the red carpet to be rolled out for Mary.
A BT article with a little background info: Udviklingsminister på første besøg i Myanmar - Politik | www.bt.dk
This is the newly appointed Minister for Developement's first visit on the job.
Rasmus Helveg (*) has basically promised the government of Myanmar that a 30 year old loan from DK will be waived. That is old praxis when a country live up to certain standards in regards to political developement. I.e. basic human and political rights. The purpose is that the country, in this case Myanmar, shouldn't be burdened by more problems than necessary in the process of carrying out political reforms.
The loan to be waivered is for 295 million DKK or some 70 million $. There are of course certain criteria to be met and it's basically one of the tasks of the Minister to check that those are met.
- While Mary takes care of the PR side of things.
(*) One of the odd things about DK is that wellknown people like politicians are often referred to by their middle name. In this case Helveg. Presumably because it's easier to tell them apart that way. Don't ask me for a general rule, because I'll owe you an answer for a long time...
