Burmese pro-democracy activists greeted Mr Gambari in Delhi
The UN special envoy on Burma, Ibrahim Gambari, will return to Burma for more talks in the first week of November.
Speaking in Delhi, Mr Gambari said the Burmese government had agreed to bring forward the date of his visit.
He said he was encouraged by promises from India to try to help resolve its neighbour's political crisis.
India, which has close ties with Burma, opposes using sanctions in response to the military's suppression of pro-democracy protests last month.
The BBC's Sanjoy Majumder in Delhi says Ibrahim Gambari is keen to return to Burma to try to facilitate a political dialogue between the military authorities and jailed opposition leader, Aung San Suu Kyi.
The Burmese authorities had said he could visit by mid-November but have now accepted his request to come before then, perhaps as early as next week, our correspondent says.
