5. 缅甸的改革进程进展显著。席卷该国的变革前所未有。政治改革正在逐步扎根并从根本上改变国家。11 月 8 日举行的大选是这一进程的关键时刻，将有助于在改革进程中建立信任并展现缅甸政府对民主的承诺。选举后时期必将充满变革和不确定性。秘书长希望缅甸所有政治领导人摒弃狭隘的议程，支持该国巩固民主。缅军的行为对于这一进程也至关重要。特别顾问继续与缅军接触并鼓励其就一系列问题发挥建设性作用，包括政治改革和民族和解努力以及缓解冲突地区的敌对行动。在这些关键时刻，联合国仍随时准备为缅甸继续提供支持。
5. Myanmar has come a long way in its reform process. The changes sweeping the country are unprecedented. Political reforms are gradually taking root and fundamentally transforming the country. The general elections that took place on 8 November are a critical juncture in that process and will help to build confidence in the reform process and demonstrate the commitment of the Government to democracy. The period immediately after the elections promises to be one of change and uncertainty. It is the Secretary-General’s hope that all political leaders in Myanmar will put aside narrow agendas and support the consolidation of democracy in the country. The behaviour of the Tatmadaw will also be critical to the process. The Special Adviser has continued to engage with the Tatmadaw and encourage it to play a constructive role on a range of issues, including political reform and national reconciliation efforts and the de-escalation of hostilities in the conflict areas. The United Nations remains ready to extend its continued support to Myanmar in these crucial times.
