BANGKOK, May 10 (Bernama): The Special Advisory Council for Myanmar (SAC-M) urged Asean to abide by the fundamental humanitarian principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence when delivering humanitarian assistance to Myanmar.

In a statement, SAC-M said Asean has to secure the immediate opening of cross-border humanitarian corridors into Myanmar and coordinate with all relevant parties, including the National Unity Government, the National Unity Consultative Council, Ethnic Revolutionary Organisations and local actors to deliver the aid it promised the people of Myanmar more than one year ago.
