[标准VOA] 联合国负责人奔赴缅甸(2) [080523]
UN Chief Heads to Cyclone-Stricken Burma (2/2)
His brief trip to Bangkok means he will not be in Burma on Saturday, when the constitutional referendum is scheduled to take place in areas affected by the cyclone. The regime went ahead with plans to hold the referendum on May 10th in areas not affected by the storm.
His spokesperson said his trip is a purely humanitarian one, and Mr. Ban would not press the military government for more democracy or seek meetings with the country's opposition leaders.
"He is going to go and visit with the victims of the cyclone, it is going to be strictly a humanitarian visit."
On Sunday, Mr. Ban will return to Rangon, where the international donors conference will take place.
Mr. Ban's top humanitarian official, John Holmes, arrived in Burma on Sunday, and Monday visited three badly hit areas, including Labutta in the Irrawaddy Delta. He is scheduled to meet with Burmese government officials on Tuesday.

他周六将离开缅甸前往曼谷,并在那做短暂的停留。缅甸政府预定周六在风暴受灾地区举行宪法公投。在未受灾地区的宪法公投已按计划于5月10日举行。
他的发言人说秘书长的此程完全是人道主义层面的。潘基文不会为了该国更多的民主而给缅甸军方施加压力,也不会寻求与该国反对党领导的会晤。
发言人说：“他即将去探访风暴受灾者。此次探访纯粹是基于人道主义。”
潘基文将于周日返回仰光,并在那停留一天参加国际认捐大会。
潘基文的负责人道主义事务的副秘书长霍姆斯已于上周日抵达缅甸。次日走访了三个重灾区,其中包括伊洛瓦底三角洲的拉布达地区。他将于周二会见缅甸的政府官员。
