Greetings From CP Burma

ON behalf of the whole party membership and ourselves, we would like to convey our warmest communist compliments to you and the delegates attending the congress. We believe the congress will be successful that can rally the whole party membership around the Central Committee and formulate a line suited to the present international situation and the domestic situation in India.

We are now at a turn of history when the US, making use of every available excuse, is trying to establish a new world order according to its own vision, an American Era. To them, force is a very handy means to handle any affair they think fit. We could not ignore the fact that hot spots and the forces of the western powers are getting closer to our country. At a time where the world’s powers are busy with their strategic moves to ascertain their positions in the coming world order, we hope to have peace and stability in our own country so that we may be able to weather the troughs created by globalisation and American militarism.

The dialogue between the State Peace and Development Council Government and Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, the leader of the main opposition party in our country, has been dragging on for more than a year without producing any tangible results. According to our assessment, there can be two possible outcomes of the talks. We look forward to a result that will bring peace and stability to our nation. The civil war in Burma broke out as the result of the failure of the negotiation for reconciliation between the Anti-Fascist People’s Liberation League (AFPLL) and the CPB. However, the present dialogue is not for reconciliation between two parties, but to bring peace and stability in Burma. Our party has expressed our support for the dialogue all along. Our nation will still be deprived of peace and stability if this talk failed. We, as a party which had been in legal fold for only three years during our existence of six decades, are as eager as every citizen to enjoy peace and stability in our nation.

Due to the unusual nature of our country’s politics, we have to say that the oppressed people may regard armed struggle as an option in their struggle for existence or for their liberation. In fact, the armed resistance forces inside our country has always waved the olive branch since the civil war broke out and yet, the successive governments, instead of paying heed to the people’s opinion, have been resorting to violence whenever they cope with the opposition. If we had not taken up arms against the ruling class in 1948, our party would have long ceased to exist. We have repeatedly stated our desire that we just wanted to enjoy simple essential democratic rights that a political party should do.

At present, we have advanced our idea that anyone who can send the army back to the barracks will be the saviour of the nation. We do not think that there will be a healthy political atmosphere in our nation as long as the military is meddling with politics. The military should go back to the place where it belongs.

We believe that mutual understanding, mutual support and timely exchange of views among the proletarian parties will enhance the healthy development of the international communist movement.

Long live Marxism-Leninism!

Long live the Communist Party of India (Marxist)!

Long live the Fraternal Relationship Between the Communist Party of India (Marxist) and the Communist Party of Burma!
