(AHN) - U.S. President Barack Obama on Friday told Congress that sanctions against Myanmar will stay for another year as the Southeast Asian country continues to suppress democracy. "I have determined that it is necessary to continue the national emergency with respect to Burma and maintain in force the sanctions against Burma to respond to this threat," Obama said in a message to Congress, according to Agence France-Presse. Obama accused Myanmar's ruling military junta of "engaging in large-scale repression of the democratic opposition," Voanews.com reported. The president also said Myanmar's actions and policies remain hostile to U.S. interests as well as threaten national security and foreign policy. Obama's announcement came a week before the expiration of the yearly sanction against Myanmar and the junta's decision to try opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi for violating the terms of her house arrest by allowing a foreign visitor in her home early this month.
