YANGON (REUTERS) - Myanmar's ruling military will not block a special South-east Asian envoy from visiting the country, but will not allow him to meet detained former leader Aung San Suu Kyi, because she is charged with crimes, a spokesman said.
Junta spokesman Zaw Min Tun, in comments issued by the military dated Wednesday (Oct 13), also said a delay in the United Nations approving the military government's UN ambassador nomination had political intentions.
