Ban gets second meeting with Burmese chief
(07-03 23:53)
UN secretary-general Ban Ki Moon is to hold an unscheduled second meeting with the leader of Burma's military junta tomorrow, a UN spokesman said.

The encounter will come after Ban held talks with regime leader Than Shwe today in which the Burmese leader stalled on allowing the head of the world body to visit democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi.

''There will be a second meeting at 9.30am (11am Hong Kong time) on Saturday,'' UN spokesman Marie Okabe said.
