"In an August 27 meeting also devoted to Georgia (septel), MFA International Organizations and Conferences Department UN Division Acting Director Sun Xiaobo told PolOff (and accompanying UK and French Embassy PolOffs) that during the recent visit of UN Special Advisor Gambari the Burmese Government "had shown flexibility" and "made some efforts" to be accommodating. Though Gambari did not meet Burmese Senior General Than Shwe, he did meet Prime Minister Thein Sein and other senior officials. Though opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi refused to meet Gambari, Gambari succeeded in meeting other senior National League for Democracy (NLD) figures. Moreover, the Burmese Government offered responses on each of Gambari?s five substantive proposals. In sum, China believes that during his visit Gambari "made some achievements."..."
