UN Envoy Set to Return to Burma

The UN special envoy on Burma, Ibrahim Gambari, will return to Burma for more talks in the first week of November. While speaking in Delhi, he said the Burmese government had agreed to bring forward the date of his visit. Also he said he was encouraged by promises from India to try to help resolve its neighbor's political crisis. India, which has close ties with Burma, opposes using sanctions in response to the military's suppression of pro-democracy protests last month.
