Great comments by the First Lady. I must admit I always have to think when I see the word Myanmar mentioned. I have noticed that the American media tend to use that word and then sometimes say formerly known as Burma whereas the British media just say Burma. I am wondering if that means that the US has recognised the new name but Britain has not or if it is just a choice of the media.

I think Burma is still correct. In the article about the First Lady they said she kept referring to Myanmar as Burma, because that’s the offical policy (I guess—I don’t know why).
