After days of stonewalling, the Myanmar government is ready to accept aid from around the world for victims of Saturday's deadly cyclone, the country's U.N. ambassador said Friday.
CNN Asia reports Myanmar's ambassador to the United Nations, Kyaw Tint Swe, made his statement during a special U.N. session during which several diplomats slammed the Myanmar government.
British Ambassador John Sawers called Myanmar's refusal to let aid workers in as the death toll mounts "an appalling crisis" and labeled the government's actions "inexplicable and inexcusable."
