    President U Thein Sein

    addressed a coordination

    meeting on assuming the

    chair of ASEAN at Myan-

    mar International Conven-

    tion Centre (1) in the com-

    pound of State Guesthouse

    today.

    Also present on the oc-

    casion were Vice-President

    U Nyan Tun, the Union

    ministers, the deputy min-

    isters, chairmen of sub-committees, guests and of-

    cials.

    In his speech, the Pres-

    ident said that it is only 63

    days left from now on as

    Myanmar is going to as-

    sume the ASEANs Chair

    on 1 January 2014 and a

    leading role in the region

    where 600 million people

    have been living in. Tak-

    ing a lead in the regional

    summit is a huge task for

    Myanmar to be proud of.

    It is the very rst time for

    President addresses coordination meeting on assuming ASEAN ChairMyanmar to lead ASEAN

    after joining ASEAN in

    1997. On 17 November,

    2011, ASEAN leaders at

    a summit unanimously ap-

    proved Myanmar to gain

    the ASEANs Chair. It

    can be said that assump-

    tion of ASEANs Chair by

    Myanmar is not only tak-

    ing the responsibility of

    a member state in accord

    with the ASEAN Charter

    but also trying hard to takea lead in ASEAN affairs

    in line with its active and

    dynamic non-aligned for-

    eign policy. The duty of

    ASEAN Chairmanship in

    2014 is very important as

    it is the last year to take

    necessary preparations for

    the emergence of ASEAN

    Community by 2015.

    The duties of ASE-

    ANs Chair are to strive for

    ensuring peace and prosper-

    ity in the region of ASEAN

    including the establishment

    of ASEAN Community

    through its leading role in

    formulating ASEAN poli-

    cies, making coordination

    and cooperation seeking

    approval of all members

    and creating and paving

    a way towards ASEANs

    Centrality. Moreover, the

    ASEANs Chair is respon-

    sible to act as a mediator in

    dealing with the matters in

    time of emergency or the

    difculties that can injurethe interest of ASEAN, to

    effectively and efciently

    take alternative measures

    against the matters in time

    and to strengthen relations

    actively. It is in conform-

    ity with the independent,

    active and non-aligned for-

    eign policy vested in the

    Constitution.Myanmar's current po-

    litical, economic and admin-

    istrative reforms are the good

    example to other ASEAN

    countries. Myanmar could

    practice its foreign policy in

    accord with the Constitution.

    Taking ASEAN chairman-

    ship is a golden opportunity

    for Myanmar to show its

    leading role and its dignity

    in the region and the inter-

    national. He called for active

    participation in it as a nation-

    al duty.

    is appropriate to grow

    groundnut and pigeon

    pea. So, local farmers get

    boosting production. I have

    got over 150 baskets of

    Waso pea. Cold season

    groundnut is sure to boost

    production. Pea production

    is on the increase, but price

    of pea is down, said a local

    farmer.

    Cold season pea can be

    grown within three months.

    The Obama-Netanyahuphone conversation was heldafter the latest round of US-

    the two allies reafrmed theirdetermination to prevent Iran

    from acquiring a nuclear

    weapon and enhance coop-eration on regional securityissues. Also on last Wednes-

    lomatically with the US-ledWest to resolve the dispute

    merely designed to rid itself

    of the crippling sanctions im-posed by the US-led Western

    countries. The US and Israelsuspect that Irans nuclearprogramme is aimed at

    building nuclear weapons,which they fear could posean existential threat to the

    Jewish state, despite insistsof Teheran that its nuclearprogramme is solely for

    peaceful research and civilenergy purposes. Mean-while, Israel has announced

    Spain summoned the USambassador on Monday to

    newspaper El Mundo saidthe NSA recently trackedover 60 million calls inSpain in the space of a

    month, citing a documentwhich it said formed partof papers obtained from

    ex-NSA contractor EdwardSnowden.

    Spain has relayed to

    terest in understanding the

    full reach of practices that,if true, would be consideredinappropriate and unaccep-

    Stung by scandal, South Korea weighs up cost of

    Now, the scandal has snow-balled, with 100 people in-dicted and Seoul under pres-sure to rethink its reliance onnuclear power. A shift away

    from nuclear, which gener-ates a third of South Koreaselectricity, could cost tens ofbillions of dollars a year byboosting imports of lique-ed natural gas, oil or coal.Although helping calm safe-ty concerns, it would alsopush the government into apolitically sensitive debateover whether state utilitiescould pass on sharply higherpower bills to householdsand companies.

    Gas, which makes uphalf of South Koreas en-

    ergy bill while accountingfor only a fth of its power,would likely be the mainsubstitute for nuclear, as itis considered cleaner than

    coal and plants can be builtmore easily near cities. Ifthe proportion of nuclearpower is cut, other fuel-based power generationhas to be raised. If we useLNG, the cost will de-nitely go up, said HwangWoo-hyun, vice presidentof state-run utility KoreaElectric Power Corp (KEP-CO).

    Koreas LG Electron-ics Inc unveiled a curvedsmartphone on Monday ina move to catch up biggerrival Samsung Electron-ics Co. Curved displaysand exible screens are thenew battleground for phone

    makers as the screens openup possibilities that couldeventually transform thehigh-end smartphone mar-

    ket. Curved smartphonesprovide a more comfortablegrip than at-screen mod-els, but the lack of must-have features means theyare unlikely to be big con-sumer hits anytime soon,analysts have said. Manu-facturing costs also remain

    relatively high.Both Samsung and

    LGs curved phones areonly available in the SouthKorean market as they seekto gauge consumer appetite.Samsung launched a vari-ant of the popular GalaxyNote earlier this month as

    the worlds rst smart-phone with a display slight-

    Wall Streets love affair

    the worlds No 1 online so-cial network reports third-quarter results on Wednes-day, meaning the worldslargest social network willhave to handily beat WallStreet targets to maintain its

    expect Facebook to grow itsmobile revenue at least ve-fold from the year-ago peri-od, with many ofcial esti-mates ranging between $760million and $840 million.But there are signs that inves-tors are privately hoping foran even bigger number.

    What Ive been tellingfolks is that, in general, $850million-plus is the numberthats needed, maybe even

    Apples iPhone sales, holiday quarter up for

    Apple Incs iPhone salesand revenue forecasts, dueto be released on Mon-day, may offer clues as towhether its low-cost 5Cmodel missed the mark orwhether the worlds largesttech company can continueits run of smash-hit gadg-ets. Signs have emergedthat demand for the cheapermodel is lagging the top-tieriPhone 5S both of whichwent on sale in September -because its $100 discount isproving to be insufcient tomotivate emerging market

    and price-conscious cus-tomers. But some analystssay the concerns are over-blown and that a greaterproportion of iPhone 5S

    shipped, translates into bet-ter margins and earningsoverall.

    Apple will be report-ing results just a week aftertaking the wraps off an in-crementally improved iPadAir. But it is the iPhone,which accounts for morethan half the companysprot and is its highest-margin gadget, that takescenter stage.

    Apple is expected toreport sales of 33 millionto 36 million iPhones inits scal fourth quarter thatended in September, rising

    to more than 50 million inthe typically strong holi-day quarter the rst fullquarter of sales of the twonew phones. Media re-

    ports of 5C production cutsare misleading, in our view,given what we think hasbeen strengthening over-all 5S/5C production with5S vectors continuing tostrengthen even real time,Timothy Arcuri, an analystat Cowen & Co, said in aresearch note.

    Apple has come underpressure over the past yearor two to bolster sales of itsiPhones and iPads as per-ennial rival Samsung Elec-tronics and cheaper gadgetsbased on Google Incs An-droid software chip away

    at its once-leading marketshare. Its stock has gained12.5 percent since August,when famously aggressiveactivist investor Carl Icahn

But thestock is still down about1 percent this year, vastlyunderperforming the S&P500s 23 percent gain.

    Longer-term, investorswonder whether the com-pany that revolutionized thecellphone industry and pop-ularized the tablet computerhas another groundbreaking

    device left in it. Analystssay it will take a genuinelynew device like the oft-rumored smartwatch orsome sort of TV to re-vive the stock.

    Investors also hopethat Apple will seal a dealto sell phones through Chi-na Mobile Ltd, gaining ac-cess nally to the countryslargest telecoms operator.We do see fewer positivecatalysts for the stock as thecompany nishes its annualproduct line refresh, ColinGillis, an analyst at BGCFinancial, said in a Fridaynote to clients.

    Phalankyin Village.In the past, the western

    part of Meiktila, near

    Meiktila-Kyaukpadaung

    Road, were covered with

    thick foliage. Later, the

    greening forest plantations

    were declining year by year

    due to growing population

    and number of housings.

    The local people utilized the

    forests for their housing and

    clearing parts of forest as

    residences and pasture lands.

    In consequence, the area gets

    about 20 inches of rainfall.

    That was why officials

    organized the local peopleto grow village plantations

    and conserve the existing

    forests. Therefore, they have

    over 30 inches of rainfall.

    Phalankyin plantation is

    now thriving within oneyear. At a time when it turns

    ve year, the department

    will hand over the forest

    plantation to the village,

    India opposition urges tighter

    saety or top candidate Modi

    afer blastsNew Delhi, 29 Oct

    Indias main oppositionparty demanded on Monday

    protection for its candidatefor prime minister, Naren-

    dra Modi, after a series ofsmall blasts killed six peopleshortly before he addresseda packed weekend rally.

    While Modi was not in thevicinity of any of the blasts

    in the state of Bihar on Sun-day, they were a reminderof Indias bloody political

    history, that includes the as-sassination of former primeminister Rajiv Gandhi at a

    1991 election rally.The Hindu nationalist

    Modi is seen as a target of

    Islamist militants who holdhim responsible for riots in

    2002, during his rst term

    as chief minister of Guja-rat state, in which at least1,000 people, most of them

    Muslims, were killed. Sun-

    Gujarats chief minister and Hindu nationalistNarendra Modi, the prime ministerial candidate for

    Indias main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)addresses a rally in the eastern Indian city of Patna

    on 27 Oct, 2013.ReuteRs

    days violence was a sign ofheightened tensions in theearly stages of a campaign

    that has already coincidedwith an uptick in commu-

    nal clashes between Hindusand Muslims. India is dueto elect a new governmentby May 2014 in a contest

    pitting the political outsiderModi, favoured by business,

    against the ruling Congresspartys Rahul Gandhi, thescion of a political dynasty

    stretching back more than60 years.

    Modi denies any role

    in the 2002 riots or biasagainst minority Muslims.He has gathered momentum

    in recent weeks and opinionpolls suggest his BharatiyaJanata Party (BJP) could

    win enough seats to form thenext government in a coali-tion.

    Police drop case over 2010 online leak

    o antiterrorism documentstokyo, 29 Oct To-

    kyo police on Tuesdaydropped their case over theonline leak of documents in

    2010 that contained sensitive

    information about their anti-terrorism efforts as the stat-

    ute of limitations for lingcriminal charges expired the

    same day. After three years

    of investigating the leak thatthe police strongly believedwas an inside job, the Met-

    ropolitan Police Department

    failed to nd evidence tosupport its case as a culprit

    could not be identied, in-vestigative sources said.

    Nonetheless, the MPD

    will send related papers toprosecutors on Tuesdaywithout naming a suspect

    and continue investigatingthe leak that came to lightin October 2010 in case a

    suspect abroad is identied,they said. The statute of limi-tations is suspended during

    the period in which a suspect

    is out of the country. TheMPD had been pursuing thecase as one of obstruction of

    duty as the incident affected

    its security operations forthe Asia-Pacic EconomicCooperation forum summitin Yokohama in November2010. Tokyo police at the

    time were strengthening se-curity ahead of a series ofAPEC-related events. The

    leak involved 114 documentsthat are believed to have beencollected by the MPD divi-

    sion specializing in crimescommitted by foreigners.
