“My attitude to peace is rather based on the
Burmese definition of peace - it really means
removing all the negative factors that destroy
peace in this world. So peace does not mean just
putting an end to violence or to war, but to all
other factors that threaten peace, such as
discrimination, such as inequality, poverty.”
