There is growing sympathy for this view in other countries.
Dette er et syn som også får sterkere gehør i andre land.
In the UN Secretary-General’s Group of Friends on Myanmar, of which Norway is a member together with 16 other countries including the EU, there is increased acceptance of the view that the international community needs to play an active role and respond to the positive steps that have been made.
I FNs vennegruppe for Myanmar, der Norge er medlem sammen med 16 andre land, inkludert EU, er det økende forståelse for synet om at det internasjonale samfunnet må engasjere seg og imøtekomme de positive skrittene.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is to visit Myanmar in December.
USAs utenriksminister, Hillary Clinton, besøker landet i desember.
Last Friday, High Representative Catherine Ashton responded positively to the NLD’s decision to participate in the by-election, and the EU is now also discussing how the first adjustments can be made in order to respond to the progress that has been made in Myanmar.
Høyrerepresentant Ashton kom sist fredag med positive uttalelser etter NLDs beslutning om å delta i suppleringsvalget, og det diskuteres nå også i EU hvordan man kan gjøre de første justeringer for å komme Myanmar i møte.
In its contact with other countries on this issue, Norway has attached particular importance to consultations with the political leadership in Indonesia.
Norge har i sine kontakter særlig vektlagt konsultasjoner med ledelsen i Indonesia.
Finally: It is of course not the case that the authorities alone should be given recognition and praise for the positive changes that are now taking place in Myanmar.
Avslutningsvis: Det er selvsagt ikke slik at det bare er myndighetene i Myanmar som fortjener anerkjennelse og belønning i lys av de positive endringene som nå skjer.
The democratic opposition, and not least Aung San Suu Kyi herself, have faced difficult choices, and there will be more in the future.
Også den demokratiske opposisjonen og ikke minst Aung San Suu Kyi selv har stått og vil stå overfor vanskelige valg.
Perhaps most importantly, it is also high time that the country’s 60 million inhabitants are rewarded for the progress that has been made.
Det er også på høyt tid – og kanskje aller viktigst – å belønne landets om lag 60 millioner innbyggere.
Many of them are living in abject poverty, and the international community must also seek to safeguard their interests.
Mange lever i dyp fattigdom, og det er deres interesser også omverdenen må ivareta.
After two decades of isolation and sanctions, Norway would like to cooperate more closely with Myanmar, precisely so that the country’s population can benefit from the democratic and economic development that the rest of the region is experiencing.
Etter to tiår med isolasjon og sanksjoner ønsker Norge et tettere samarbeid med Myanmar, nettopp for at landets befolkning skal kunne ta del i den demokratiske og økonomiske utviklingen som preger regionen for øvrig.
Myanmar has both the resources and other conditions conducive to achieving this.
Myanmar har både ressursgrunnlag og andre positive forutsetninger for å få dette til.
This is a line that subsequent governments have followed.
Det er en linje som etterfølgende regjeringer har fulgt.
What I am saying today is that the Government is considering withdrawing this advice.
Det jeg varsler i dag, er at regjeringen vurderer å oppheve det rådet.
We will make it very clear to Norwegian market actors when this will be done.
Det vil bli gjort veldig tydelig overfor norske markedsaktører når vi gjør det.
But intra-state conflicts are just as difficult to resolve, and peace is just as elusive as in interstate conflicts.
Men de er like krevende å lege ved en eventuell fred.
Today there is still fighting between groups in Myanmar.
Det pågår i dag fortsatt kamper inne i Myanmar mellom grupper.
Finding a way out of this requires that the international community plays an active role and provides assistance.
En vei ut av det krever et engasjement og støtte utenfra.
Norway also intends to support this line.
Det vil også Norge støtte opp om.
Mr Håbrekke put it very well when he said that what we are experiencing is cautious enthusiasm.
Representanten Håbrekke sa det meget godt, at vi opplever forsiktig begeistring.
In my view, that is a good approach: we need to be level-headed as we look to the future.
Det synes jeg er en god kombinasjon – å være nøkterne om veien framover.
In my view, Norway should give priority to following developments on the ground, and then wait and see what happens.
Jeg tror vi fra norsk side skal legge vekt på å følge utviklingen på bakken, som det heter, se den an og se hva som skjer.
That means that we must also be able to look at what has happened up until now, and since the last debate we had.
Da må vi også være i stand til å se hva som har skjedd til nå, siden den forrige debatten vi hadde.
Recent developments have led the US, the country that was perhaps most critical of Myanmar, to take the step of sending its Secretary of State to Myanmar for the first time in several decades.
Utviklingen har jo ført det landet som kanskje har det sterkeste kritiske blikket på Myanmar, USA, til det skritt at president Obama har sendt sin utenriksminister på det første besøket på flere tiår til Myanmar.
This led people to ask what President Obama hopes to achieve.
Spørsmålet ble reist om hva presidenten vil.
We have no way of knowing the full answer.
Det kan jo ikke vi vite fullt ut.
But I believe that he sees that without reforms, there will be no development, and without reforms, the problems for the people of Myanmar will continue, which in turn will lead to more conflicts and more insecurity whatever the regime.
Jeg tror han ser at uten reformer kommer det ikke utvikling, at uten reformer kommer dette folket til å være plaget på en måte som skaper flere konflikter og mer utrygghet for ethvert regime.
If the reality of the situation is that Myanmar is in the process of introducing social practices that are more in line with its international obligations than those of other countries in the region that are not subject to sanctions, we are faced with the problem that our treatment of different states is not equal.
Hvis realiteten er den at Myanmar er i ferd med å innføre en samfunnspraksis som er mer i tråd med internasjonale forpliktelser enn andre land i regionen, som vi ikke har sanksjoner til, får vi et problem når det gjelder å være likehendig mot forskjellige stater.
I noted that the Conservative Party representative argued that there have not yet been any grounds for changing our policy.
Jeg merket meg at Høyres representant mente det ikke var grunn til å endre noe på politikken vår til nå.
I hear what he is saying, but at the same time my impression is that the majority of this chamber would like us to be able to make adjustments to our policy, together with our close partners, and send signals back to the Myanmar regime.
Det tar vi med oss, men jeg opplever samtidig at flertallet i salen er opptatt av at vi også, sammen med våre nære partnere, skal kunne bevege oss og sende signaler tilbake til regimet.
As a final point, I am fully aware that there may be setbacks, and we must follow developments very closely.
Så vil jeg si, som et siste poeng: Det kan komme tilbakeslag, ja, og det skal vi være meget oppmerksomme på.
This means that we also need to be able to respond to setbacks.
Derfor er det slik at vi også må være i stand til å kunne reagere på tilbakeslag.
Thank you for the constructive discussion and for helping to lay the basis for our continued policy in this area, which I believe enjoys broad support in the Storting.
Takk for en grei avklaring og et godt fundament for videre politikk på dette området, som jeg tror samler bred oppslutning i Stortinget.

“The International Labour Organisation (ILO) has done a great deal to put these issues on the agenda.
- Den internasjonale arbeidsorganisasjonen ILO har gjort en stor innsats for å sette disse spørsmålene på dagsorden.
ILO is important both as a political arena and as a partner.
ILO er viktig både som politisk arena og alliert aktør.
But other institutions, such as the World Trade Organisation (WTO), are also playing a vital role.
Men også andre institusjoner som WTO er avgjørende.
I am therefore very pleased that today’s conference has brought together a broad range of organisations and representatives of the business community,” said Minister of the Environment and International Development Erik Solheim.

Additional NOK 30 million to promote workers’ rights
30 millioner til økt satsing for arbeidstakernes rettigheter
The financial crisis has affected the whole world, but some countries are worse hit than others.
Finanskrisen rammer hele verden, men noen land rammes mer enn andre.
According to the International Labour Organisation (ILO), 90 million more people will be out of work in 2010.
I følge den internasjonale arbeidsorganisasjonen, ILO, vil 90 millioner flere mennesker være arbeidsledige når vi når 2010.
Millions of those who become unemployed worldwide will have no social security to meet their most basic needs.
Millioner av dem som blir ledige verden over har ingen sosial beskyttelse som kan ivareta de mest grunnleggende behov.
The increase in unemployment will have serious social consequences.
Den økende ledigheten får store sosiale konsekvenser.
“We are concerned that the financial crisis will lead to poorer working conditions and undermine social rights,” Mr Støre added.
- Vi frykter at finanskrisen vil føre til dårligere arbeidsvilkår og svekkede sosiale rettigheter, sier Støre.
Many of the international stimulus packages to address the financial crisis have been targeted at the finance sector itself.
Mange av de internasjonale tiltakspakkene mot finanskrisen har vært rettet mot finansnæringen selv.
These have been important for families, enterprises and local communities.
Det har vært viktig for familier, for virksomheter og for lokalsamfunn.
But it is also important that stimulus packages also protect employees’ fundamental rights.
Men det er også viktig at tiltakspakkene beskytter arbeidstakernes grunnleggende rettigheter.
