UN chief to visit Myanmar
None
Myanmar and the United Nations discussed strengthening cooperation on Saturday, Myanmar's foreign minister said, in another sign of the reclusive state's sudden engagement with the world after a half-century of isolation and oppressive rule.
The UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said separately in a briefing he had accepted an invitation from Myanmar President Thein Sein to visit the Southeast Asian country "as soon as possible." Such a visit could happen within a few months, Ban's special advisor for Myanmar, Vijay Nambiar, said.
