Suu Kyi meets with Myanmar official
Myanmar's democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi met Monday with a junta officer, a government official said, as regional leaders prepared to confront the regime over its crackdown on dissent.
Witnesses told AFP that a convoy picked up the Nobel peace prize winner from her home, where she has been confined for 12 of the past 18 years, and took her to a nearby military facility often used for official meetings.
The government official said on condition of anonymity that the opposition leader met for about an hour with Labour Minister Aung Kyi, who has been appointed by the junta to handle contacts with her.
The meeting was the third between the pair since Aung Kyi was appointed as a liaison in the wake of international outrage over the junta's deadly crackdown on pro-democracy protesters in September.
