Bangkok--23 May--UN A senior UN official who was at the meeting between UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Myanmar's Senior General Than Shwe, in the capital Naypyidaw earlier today, said that the United Nation's understanding of the agreement was that it would allow aid workers to go into the Irrawaddy delta. "The general said he saw no reason why that should not happen... as long as they were genuine humanitarian workers and it was clear what they were going to be doing," the official said. He added: "We've got to turn that into the reality now." The official said that previous members of the Myanmar Govenrment had not been able to give this assurances provided today because they needed a "green light from the top."
