UN opens its first office in Myanmar

To gain close relationship with Myanmar Government, the United Nations opened its first

office in Nay Pyi Taw - new capital of Myanmar - on wednesday.

“This UN office symbolises the UN's effort to coordinate and do its utmost to support the government and people of Myanmar and live up to the values enshrined in the UN charter", said Haoliang Xu, UN assistant secretary general. 
The MoU signed on June 6 by Myanmar with the UN Development Program and UN High Commissioner for Refugees regarding voluntary repatriation of Bengalis who fled from Arakan to Bangladesh last year.
