YANGON, Myanmar — U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki- Moon said ahead of his trip today to Myanmar that he plans to lobby the military-ruled country’s top leader directly for the release of pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
Ban arrived in Myanmar for meetings with leaders on the same day that Suu Kyi’s widely criticized trial resumes.
He acknowledged earlier this week that the two-day visit will be “a very challenging one.” It was not clear whether he would be allowed to meet with Suu Kyi.
