United Nations envoy Razali Ismail talks to malaysiakini last Friday about his plans for his visit to Rangoon tomorrow to kick start a deal which he brokered two years ago between the Burmese military junta and opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
What do you hope to achieve for your next visit to Myanmar (*formerly known as Burma)?
I am hoping to get the momentum moving again and I want to understand why it has slowed down. I want to get the wheels moving as agreed to by all parties before.
Are you going to meet the government and Aung San Suu Kyi separately?
Yes. I'd like to see the highest people in the government if possible, that is Senior General Than Shwe. A request has been made (to meet with him).
