The party of veteran Burmese opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi has said it wishes to discuss how international sanctions might be eased.
The National League for Democracy (NLD) said it was seeking meetings with Western nations on how to modify sanctions on the country.
Responsible investment guidelines could ease economic hardship, it argued.
Western states led by the US and EU have maintained sanctions in response to the Burmese junta’s abuses.
Ms Suu Kyi’s release from house arrest in November after Myanmar’s first election in 20 years rekindled debate over the effectiveness of the measures.
She herself has called for greater foreign investment in her country, which she says has been “left behind”.
“The NLD calls for discussions with the United States, the European Union, Canada and Australia with a view to reaching agreement on when, how and under what circumstances sanctions might be modified in the interests of democracy, human rights and a healthy economic environment,” the NLD said in a statement.
After winning a resounding victory in Burma’s 1990 election, the party was kept from power by the junta.
It was deemed an unlawful association last month because it had refused to register for the most recent election, which it rejected as undemocratic.
