NAY PYI TAW, Aug. 31 (Xinhua) -- The United Nations (UN) has been a steady partner to support the reform and reconciliation process of Myanmar, UN chief Ban Ki-Moon told the 21st Century Panglong Ethnic Conference in Nay Pyi Taw Wednesday.
Marking the conference as a historic transition, Ban pledged in his address that the UN will continue efforts to smooth the differences, lower tensions and move parties towards better understanding and dialogue in line with the goals and values of the UN Charter.
The Secretary-General urged the participants to accept that no party involved in the reconciliation process can expect to achieve all its aims. Conversely, every side must win something if the process is to succeed.
