YANGON, NEW YORK (Reuters/AFP): Myanmar's ruling junta is focusing on creating a stable situation in the country before agreeing to allow a visit by a South-east Asian envoy, as part of a five-point consensus agreed by regional leaders last month, an official said on Friday (May 7).
Major Kaung Htet San, a spokesman for the ruling military council, told a televised briefing that Asean, of which Myanmar is a member, wanted to send a special representative and Myanmar would "cooperate regarding that envoy" when a certain level of security and stability had been achieved.
