Senior UN official Ibrahim Gambari met detained Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi in a Yangon guest house on Saturday, her first contact with an outsider in three years, a government source said.
The meeting followed an audience between Gambari and Than Shwe, the ruling military junta's supremo, in his new jungle capital. It lasted for about an hour, according to the source, who asked not to be identified. There were no further details. Gambari, undersecretary-general for political affairs, is the first senior UN official in two years to be allowed into the former Burma, which has been under military rule of one form or another since 1962. |
