About Than Shwe
- Than Shwe can be very charming and friendly when he wants to be. He speaks English quite well and they try to be hospitable when you are there; but they don't like intrusiveness. They don't like you asking about things that they consider to be their internal affairs.
- Razali Ismail, former United Nations envoy to Myanmar, "Than Shwe: Myanmar junta's "old fox"". Reuters. Oct 3, 2007.
