DHAKA, July 6: Dhaka on Sunday assured Yangon of not interfering with the latter’s internal affairs, while hoping restoration of democracy in Myanmar, Foreign Secretary Shamsher Mobin Chowdhury told newsmen on Sunday.

Win Aung, who has come to Dhaka also as special envoy of Myanmar’s military junta General Than Shwe, apprised them of the current domestic situation in Myanmar.

The special envoy also handed over a letter of Myanmar head of government General Than Shwe to Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia.
