The pro-military National Unity Party (NUP) yesterday warned Myanmar (Burma) against copying alien cultures, norms and politics such as "democracy," a senior party official said.DPA reports NUP chairman Tun Ye told a gathering of 400 senior party members that the party must strengthen its identity as "a concrete stabilising national force".
NUP was set up by the military to replace the BSPP, which was the country's sole party during the 26 years under former military strongman U Ne Win and his disastrous 'Burmese Way to Socialism'.
