Myanmar will accept US cyclone aid: state TV
Friday, May 09, 2008 23:08 [IST]

Yangon: Myanmar will accept emergency aid from the United States, state television said today, a week after a devastating cyclone, but did not specify how it would be delivered or distributed.

State television made the announcement after a meeting between deputy foreign affairs minister Kyaw Thu and the head of the US embassy in Myanmar, Shari Villarosa.

"The charged affaires of the US embassy gave the offer documents to the deputy foreign affairs minister for providing relief supplies within the coming days," it reported.

"Myanmar has said that it is going to accept it."

The broadcast rejected "rumours" that military-run Myanmar was turning away offers of assistance from Western countries, which are deeply critical of its failure to move towards democracy.

"According to the recent policy, Myanmar does not discriminate towards any country which offers rescue assistance," it said.
