According to AP news,

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Tuesday at a news conference that he looks forward to building on special envoy Ibrahim Gambari’s recent visit “with a view to further promoting national dialogue and reconciliation.”

Gambari “had good discussions there even though one may not be totally satisfied,” Ban said.

“I would again call on government and opposition to resume substantive dialogue without preconditions and without further delay,” the secretary-general added.

Gambari met with Myanmar’s prime minister, Gen. Thein Sein, as well as detained opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi during a four-day trip that ended earlier this month. But he did not meet with the junta’s chief, Senior Gen. Than Shwe, as he did on three previous visits.

State television reported after Gambari’s visit that the prime minister gave the U.N. envoy a cold reception, telling him the world body should lift economic sanctions and visa bans if it wants to see political stability.
