BANGKOK (Reuters) - World Food Programme (WFP) chief James Morris flew into Myanmar on Monday for a four-day trip analysts said was aimed at keeping a channel open between the army-ruled country and the outside world. 

Morris's visit to Yangon, the first by a high-ranking official of the United Nations in many months, comes amid signs that the junta ruling the former Burma is considering further restrictions on U.N. activities.
