Myanmar invites UN envoy

Myanmar is inviting a United Nations special envoy to visit in mid-August, for talks that are expected to focus on international efforts to bring political reforms to the Southeast Asian nation.

The invitation by Myanmar's ambassador, Kyaw Tint Swe, was extended to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's special representative for Myanmar, Ibrahim Gambari, in a letter to Vietnam's ambassador, Le Luong Minh, whose nation holds the Security Council's rotating presidency this month.

Myanmar, where 138,000 were left dead or missing after Cyclone Nargis struck in early May, also is on council's agenda this month.
