Myanmar will accept US cyclone aid: state TV
YANGON (AFP) — Myanmar state television said Friday the country would accept emergency aid from the United States, a week after a devastating cyclone, but did not specify how it would be delivered or distributed.
State TV said the decision came in a meeting between deputy foreign affairs minister Kyaw Thu and the head of the United States' embassy in Myanmar, Shari Villarosa.
"The charge d'affaires of the US embassy gave the offer documents to the deputy foreign affairs minister for providing relief supplies within the coming days," it said.
"Myanmar has said that it is going to accept it."
