DHAKA: US state secretary John Kerry said that Myanmar’s dramatic political reforms were still ‘incomplete’, a day after the former military-ruled country released dozens more political prisoners.

‘I think what is happening in Myanmar is very exciting, but it is incomplete,’ Kerry said on Wednesday during a meeting with students in Brunei, where he was later set to meet Myanmar president Thein Sein at a regional summit.

‘We have to see that the political transformation continues,’ he added, reports The Straits Times.

‘Our hope is that the democracy will continue to evolve,’ Kerry added.
