Now we have to test that to its limits in the high interest of the Myanmar people,” Ibrahim Gambari told reporters in Singapore. Mr. Gambari added that those who support the Secretary-General’s good offices role should encourage the Government of Myanmar to cooperate “fully, regularly and substantively” with the UN.
