comments     Published     Updated

RANGOON A confidante of UN envoy to Burma Razali Ismail met with pro-democracy campaigner Aung San Suu Kyi in Shan state after Razali cancelled his own trip there, a National League for Democracy (NLD) source said.

Leon de Riedmatten, of the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue, flew to the southern Shan capital of Taunggyi Friday for talks with the Nobel peace laureate, who is in the midst of an extensive political trip.

"He met with Aung San Suu Kyi and talked with her for two hours," a source in Suu Kyi's NLD party told AFP on Saturday.

The substance of the talks was not revealed, but in several previous meetings between Aung San Suu Kyi and Razali the two have discussed the status of the reconciliation dialogue between the ruling generals and the opposition which the UN envoy has brokered for the past two years.
