Myanmar: UN envoy meets with Daw Aung San Suu Kyi

Secretary-General Kofi Annan's Special Envoy to Myanmar met today with that nation's detained democracy leader, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, a United Nations spokesman confirmed.

The envoy, Razali Ismail, is scheduled to end his three-day mission Thursday and will submit a report, spokesman Fred Eckhard said at a press briefing in New York.

Mr. Razali, on his eleventh mission to Myanmar, was also expected to meet with Prime Minister General Khin Nyunt and other Government leaders on ways to revive the process of national reconciliation, which came to a standstill after Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, was detained on 30 May.

Mr. Annan has called for Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s release ever since her latest detention.
