DR, RICE AND UN ON BURMESE AFFAIRS


UN senior official urged junta for greater collaboration
UN secretary for humanitarian assistance John Holmes urged Burmese military for greater collaboration to help rebuild the country.
Mr Holmes was speaking after his three days trip to the cyclone-affected areas.
It was his second visit to the country which was hit by the cyclone in early May, leaving more than a hundred thousand people dead or reported missing.
He said there are positive developments in humanitarian work in his second visit.
In the mean time, New York-based human rights group called for the establishment of independent body to oversee the distribution of foreign aids in order to prevent manipulation by its 'repressive' government.
