A conference for strategic consultation between Members of Parliament Union, the National Coalition Government of the Union of Burma, the National Council of the Union of Burma, the Women’s League of Burma, and the Student and Youth Congress of Burma was successfully completed at the ILO Training Center in Turin, Italy, from the 10^th to 15 July 2006.

The conference urged UN Security Council to strengthen the mandate given to the UN Secretary-General by the UN General Assembly to find a peaceful resolution to the political stalemate in Burma.

The conference also urged the European Union to make every effort necessary to ensure the delivery of health assistance is transparent, accountable and thoroughly monitored to ensure it reached the most needy people of Burma and is not siphoned off, diverted or steered to the Burmese military regime or its affiliated organizations.
