Exclusive - Citing lack of progress, secretary to Myanmar's Rohingya panel quits

YANGON (Reuters) - The Thai secretary to an international panel set up by Myanmar to advise on the Rohingya crisis quit his post, dealing another blow to the credibility of a body meant to demonstrate the government's commitment to resolving the issue.

Explaining his decision Kobsak Chutikul, a retired ambassador and former member of Thailand's parliament, told Reuters the panel of foreign and local experts, which met for the third time in the capital Naypyitaw this week, had "been kept on a short leash" and achieved little in the six months since its formation in January.
