UN chief Ban Ki-moon urged Myanmar's ruling junta and opposition to redouble their efforts to achieve national reconciliation and full respect for human rights, his press office said Monday.
Ban again described a return to the status quo that existed prior to the current crisis as "not sustainable," a UN statement said.
He pressed the "government and all relevant parties to redouble their efforts towards achieving national reconciliation, democracy and full respect for human rights."
