Burma/Myanmar?

There have been debates on what to call the country under discussion. The Presidency suggested that the official name of the country is Myanmar whereupon the UK delegation claimed their right to refer to the country as Burma since it has always referred to it as such and it “is internationally established”. The Presidency retorted that it is standard procedure to refer to a country by its official name.

What is your opinion? Burma/Myanmar? Write your comments below!
