UN Envoy Returns To Asia To Discuss Myanmar
United
Nations envoy, Professor Ibrahim Gambari is revisiting Asia, on
a tour that is expected to culminate in his second visit to
Myanmar since pro-democracy demonstrations erupted in the
country about two weeks ago.
UN Secretary-General, Mr. Ban Ki-moon
dispatched Gambari to Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, India,
China and Japan "with a view to returning to Myanmar shortly
thereafter," a UN statement said.
Gambari, who returned from a four-day visit to
Myanmar, last week, had originally planned to make a second
visit in mid-November but, that had been brought forward.
Gambari is expected to be in Myanmar by the end
of October.
