Burma's military rulers have accused Western nations of "blind and prejudiced meddling" in its internal affairs.
The comments, made in an article carried today by several newspapers considered mouthpieces for the junta, also warned of an "endless cycle of military coups" if a Western-style democracy was imposed on the southeast Asian country.
The Burmese government has come under increasng international pressure to free pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
"This blind and prejudiced meddling in Myanmar's home affairs, supporting one side while opposing the other by America and its West European allies, have adversely affected the nation's internal stability," the commentary said.
"It has created obstacles and hindered the nation's efforts to establish peace and stability in the country and to set up a democratic state and a market-oriented economy," it added.
Ms San Suu Kyi was arrested on May 30th following a clash between her supporters and pro-government groups while she was on a tour outside the capital Rangoon.
Key donor Japan has suspended new aid to Burma, and the United States and European Union have threatened harsher sanctions if she is not released.
Burma's economy is in tatters after years of misrule and international sanctions.
The junta has repeatedly said its ultimate goal is a national reconciliation and a transition to democracy - but that moving too quickly could lead to instability.
