"The Secretary-General's Special Envoy from Myanmar Christine Schraner Burgener will travel to the region this week. She will start off in Bangkok," Dujarric said. "In addition to Thailand, the Special Envoy is consulting on visits to other countries, as well as other neighboring countries. She has highlighted repeatedly: a robust international response to the ongoing crisis in Myanmar requires a unified regional effort involving neighboring countries."
