Chiang Mai (Mizzima) - The Liaison Minister of the Burmese military junta, Aung Kyi met opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi on Saturday afternoon from 1:00 p.m. to 1:40 p.m. in Sein Le Kan Thar government guest house in Rangoon.
It is not yet clear what the agenda of the military junta's emissary was, but opposition sources in Rangoon said the letter from the pro-democracy leader to the junta supremo Senior General Than Shwe could have been discussed.
In a letter to Snr Gen Than Shwe, on September 25, the detained Nobel Peace Laureate said, she is willing to work with the junta to help lift economic sanctions on Burma. She asked to be allowed to talk to representatives of countries that have imposed the sanctions to understand their stance.
Though Aung Kyi was assigned as Liaison Minister on October 8, 2007, the last time he met the detained Nobel Laureate was in January 2008.
