"We have concerns that Mr. Gambari was swiftly moved from Rangoon (Yangon) to the new capital in the interior, far from population centers," White House National Security Council Spokesman Gordon Johndroe said in a statement.He urged the junta, which has ruled Myanmar for 45 years, to allow Gambari wide access to people, including religious leaders and detained pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi."He's the best hope we have. He is trusted on both sides," Singapore Foreign Minister George Yeo said of Gambari. "If he fails, then the situation can become quite dreadful."Before heading to Yangon, Gambari said in Singapore he was going "to deliver a message from the secretary-general to the leadership, a message that is very much by the Security Council"."I look forward to a very fruitful visit so that I can report progress on all fronts," Channel News Asia quoted him as saying.Asked if he expected to meet Suu Kyi, Gambari said: "I expect to meet all the people that I need to meet."
