UNITED NATIONS : UN chief Ban Ki-moon has been informed that his special envoy Ibrahim Gambari will be welcome in Myanmar to discuss the current turmoil, a spokeswoman said on Thursday.
"The secretary general has been informed that his special envoy will be welcome in Myanmar," spokeswoman Marie Okabe said. "He is pleased."
She made the remarks shortly after Singapore's Foreign Minister George Yeo said Myanmar would issue a visa to Gambari, who has been sent by Ban to defuse global anger over the violent crackdown anti-government protests in the Southeast Asian country.
