The military junta in Burma has agreed to let other Southeast Asian nations help coordinate foreign relief assistance for cyclone victims, but Burmese officials said aid groups will not be given uncontrolled access to the country. Meanwhile, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is scheduled to visit Burma Wednesday to urge the military junta to allow more foreign assistance to help survivors of the cyclone. A three-day period of mourning began earlier today.
