The U.N. special envoy for Myanmar made her first visit to the military-ruled nation since her appointment last year, meeting Wednesday with the foreign minister as the country recovers from an earthquake that killed more than 3,600 people.
The envoy, Australia’s Julie Bishop, met with Foreign Minister Than Swe and other officials at a temporary tented area outside of the ministry’s damaged building in the capital Naypyitaw, which was hard hit by the 7.7 magnitude quake on March 28, Myanmar's MRTV state television said.
