No turning back on reforms, says Burma president

Burma's president vowed not to turn back on his country's democratic reforms as he urged the West to lift sanctions, and even dangled the possibility of giving opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi a Cabinet post.

"We are on the right track to democracy," President Thein Sein said in an interview with The Washington Post published today, his first with Western media. "Because we are on the right track, we can only move forward, and we don't have any intention to draw back."
