JAKARTA - British Prime Minister David Cameron Thursday praised Indonesia as proof of a country where religion was compatible with democracy and urged people not to confuse Islam with extremism. He also voiced happiness over the Myanmar by-polls and said UK was ready to ease sanctions.
Cameron, who was on a trade visit to Jakarta, said Indonesia should be pointed out as an example of a country where religion and democracy " can flourish together" .
He said extremists " try to turn Islam into a closed and warped ideology that is opposed to democracy" .
" What Indonesia is showing is that it is possible to develop a democracy and a modern economy that neither compromises people's security nor their ability to practise their religion," Cameron said in Jakarta, capital of the world's most populous Muslim nation.
" This has huge implications for others seeking the same fundamental freedoms in places like Egypt, Iran and Syria," he said at the Al Azhar university in Jakarta.
On Wednesday, Cameron held talks with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono in Jakarta as part of efforts to deepen links with the country.
He flew to Malaysia Thursday and held talks with Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak where he praised the by-elections held in Myanmar as a major move towards democracy and said Britain was ready to respond by easing sanctions on the country.
Cameron flies to Myanmar Friday where he is set to meet pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, whose National League for Democracy swept the by-elections and she was elected to parliament.
Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live, the British prime minister said he would also meet Myanmarese President Thein Sein and " thank him for the work that he has done" on democratic reform.
Asked if sanctions on Myanmar should be eased, Cameron said: " If Burma moves towards democracy then we should respond in kind, and we should not be slow in doing that."
He is also scheduled to fly to Singapore as part of his week-long tour of east and south-east Asia.
During his visits to Japan and Indonesia earlier this week, Cameron signed defence and aerospace contracts.

Ntegrator will have a very good chance to be awarded some contracts towards the Myanmar stock exchange setup.
Ntegrator is into data and IT communications and networks projects and already had a headstart in Myanmar.
It is just a matter of time to be 20-30cents stocks in 2-3 years. This kind of rebuilding of country will cost a lot of monies and Ntegrator will definitely tender for projects.
Hold for long term.

Myanmar will witness a robust growth as Western countries start to ease sanctions, an Asian Development Bank (ADB) official has said.
The ADB projected a six-percent GDP growth for Myanmar in 2012. " But it is a very conservative projection. I wouldn't be surprised if the actual number turns out to be much higher," said Craig Steffensen, ADB's chief on Myanmar and Thailand.
Myanmar has made progress in reforming its exchange rate, land law and financial sector. It is also making good decisions in boosting investment, tourism and export.
" Hotels, flights are booked out. Business people are looking for opportunities in Myanmar," Steffensen said here Wednesday.
The US and EU have pledged to ease sanctions on Myanmar, a major boost to the country's economic prospect, Xinhua reported.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said America will begin easing sanctions on Myanmar after opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi was elected into the parliament.
It is essential that sanctions are removed to drive the export-oriented growth model, which Myanmar is likely to adopt for future development, he added.
Myanmar used to have the same economic development level as Thailand before being sanctioned. " It has the potential for a leapfrog development to shorten the difference with its neighbours," Steffensen added.

YANGON - Aung San Suu Kyi Wednesday met Myanmar President Thein Sein to discuss various issues including parliamentary affairs and continuing the peace process with ethnic rebels, ahead of the pro-democracy activist's historic entry into parliament after her landslide election victory early this month.
The two leaders met at the president's official residence in the capital Naypyidaw and are believed to have had lunch with Thein Sein's family.
Thein Sein, also hailed as the architect of political reconciliation in Myanmar, discussed democratization, parliamentary affairs and the peace process with ethnic rebels with Suu Kyi, her aides said.
The 66-year-old democracy activist will take her seat in the lower house of parliament for the first time April 23.
Suu Kyi told reporters that " it was a good meeting" after she returned to Yangon from Naypyitaw. She did not elaborate more.
This was the second meeting of the Noble laureate with Thein Sein, a key figure in the military junta that ruled Myanmar for 49 years.
Thein Sein, the former junta prime minister, presided over political reforms after military rulers handed over the power to him in March 2011 marking the end of nearly half a century of army dictatorship. Last year it also saw the release of Suu Kyi from house arrest after almost 15 years.
Suu Kyi has already dismissed reports that she could enter government after her National League for Democracy (NLD) party managed to win 43 of the 44 seats it contested in the April 1 by-elections.
But she has not ruled out an advisory role, particularly on the subject of the ethnic minority conflicts that have gripped parts of the country.

TOKYO (REUTERS) - Myanmar will set up a security exchange by 2015 with the help of the Tokyo Stock Exchange and Daiwa Securities Group, a Japanese source familiar with the deal said on Wednesday, as the resource-rich nation hunts for foreign investors after decades of isolation.
News of the exchange follows historic by-elections on April 1 which saw Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi and her opposition party secure landslide victories, prompting moves to relax Western sanctions and triggering intense investor interest in the country.
Myanmar, the Tokyo bourse and Daiwa have been in talks to set up a securities exchange since last year, a Daiwa Institute of Research spokesman said.
A memorandum of understanding about the establishment of the bourse will be signed by mid-May, said the Japanese source. 'They have reached preliminary agreement and the signing ceremony will be next month,' the source said, adding that an announcement was expected later on Wednesday.
