I'll Meet Myanmar's New PM To Resolve Crisis - Razali

KANGAR, Sept 5 (Bernama) -- The UN Special Envoy to Myanmar, Tan Sri Razali Ismail, will hold talks with Myanmar Prime Minister Khin Nyunt to help resolve the conflict in that country.

He said he would find ways to meet the new prime minister to discuss and study the plan for democracy to be implemented in Myanmar.

"I heard the Myanmar Prime Minister has his own road map. There are seven steps in the road map but the details have not been given," he told reporters after calling on Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim here on Friday.

Asked for latest developments on the detention of Myanmar's pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, Razali said he did not know the real situation.

He said he also did not know whether the first move under the road map was to release the 58-year-old Suu Kyi.

Razali said the United Nations was worried as long as Suu Kyi had not been released.

Asked when he would be leaving for Myanmar, Razali said the date had not been fixed but the world body had asked him to go to Yangon.

On his meeting with Shahidan, Razali said it was a normal courtesy call as the Menteri Besar was his old friend.

He said Shahidan provided useful advice to him.
