The Secretary-General convened, today, a meeting of the Group of Friends of the Secretary-General on Myanmar to discuss the upcoming visit of his Special Advisor, Mr. Ibrahim Gambari, to the country.
The Group expressed strong support for the Secretary-General's good offices efforts. Members of the Group also noted their expectations that Mr. Gambari's next visit would need to yield tangible progress on the issues of concern to the international community, particularly with regard to the resumption of dialogue between Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and the Government, the credibility of the electoral process, and the regularization of engagement with the good offices of the Secretary-General.
