Mr. Gambari, who concluded his six-day visit to Myanmar last week, thanked Mr. Samak for his help in negotiating with senior Myanmar officials who later allowed the UN chief to visit that country after Cyclone Nargis battered several parts of the country earlier this year.
He also urged Mr. Samak to continue supporting the UN in its bid to resolve thr political deadlock in Myanmar which has continued in that country since 1990 when the opposition National League for Democracy party of Aung San Suu Kyi won the majority of seats in parliamentary elections, but was prevented from taking power by the ruling military junta.
During his visit to Myanmar, Mr. Gambari met neither Mrs. Suu Kyi nor the country's top generals.
Reiterating that the Thai government would continue supporting the world body, Mr. Samak reportedly told Mr. Gambari that he would attend the UN General Assembly in late September and would find an opportunity to confer with the UN chief on the situation in Myanmar. (TNA)
