"Delegates from 52 donor nations meeting on Sunday in Myanmar pressed its government to make good on a promise to give foreign aid workers free access to millions of isolated cyclone survivors.
"Leading the one-day meeting, the United Nations secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, said that the government was 'moving fast in the right direction' and that he was confident Myanmar would honor the pledge, made to him on Friday by the leader of its military junta, Senior Gen. Than Shwe.
