Begin Text

Dear Aung San Suu Kyi:

Please accept my warmest wishes to you on your 60th birthday. Your message of non-violence and courageous support for the establishment of democracy in Burma in the face of the junta’s brutal repression and your continuing house arrest inspires people around the world.

The American people and I salute you on this special occasion, and reaffirm that the United States stands with you and all others in your struggle to free the Burmese people. We look forward to the day when you can celebrate your birthday in a democratic and free Burma where fundamental human rights are respected.

Sincerely,
Condoleezza Rice
