YANGON - UN envoy Ibrahim Gambari left Myanmar for Singapore on Monday, ending a five-day mission that included two meetings with democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi but few tangible concessions from the regime.
Mr Gambari came here to press the regime to include the Nobel peace prize winner in its plans to hold a referendum in May and multiparty elections in 2010.
Aung San Suu Kyi, who led her National League for Democracy party to victory in 1990 polls, has been under house arrest for 12 of the last 18 years.
She was allowed to meet twice with Mr Gambari, but no details on their talks have been given.
In public statements from the junta, the generals rejected international pressure to open up the election process to include her and her party.
The regime also rebuffed a UN offer to send observers to watch the referendum, while accusing Gambari of being biased in favour of Aung San Suu Kyi. -- AFP
