The military government of Myanmar, formerly Burma, said today that it
regretted decisions by the United States and Britain to boycott an Interpol
Conference on heroin production and trafficking to be held later this month.

The plan to hold the conference in Myanmar, one of the world's leading
heroin producers, raised eyebrows among many diplomats and provoked
condemnation by critics of the Yangon government.

The Netherlands, Denmark and Norway have also said they will not attend.
