“Secretary-general Ban Ki-moon, following his discussions with the Myanmar leadership during his visit to the country after the cyclone, said that he expects his good offices to be deepened and broadened by the continued engagement of his special adviser [Mr Gambari].
 

The quakes, measuring 5.0 and 5.9, struck less than four minutes apart more than 200 kilometres (125 miles) from the city of Dali, a popular tourist spot in southwest China.
