Aung San Suu Kyi meet with Burma Government Official

After bloody protest led by Burmese munks the UN brokered a deal with the Burmese government who promised to start negotiations with Burmese pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi. The first meeting between the new 'minister for relations' General Aung Kyi and Aung San Suu Kyi took place today. As of yet, there is no news on what was discussed during the meeting. And it is still unclear whether Burma is any further along the path towards democracy.

It is the first known meeting between the government and the pro-democracy forces in the past 12 years. The Burmese Junta agreed to start the negotiations with Suu Kyi if she agreed to denounce international sanctions against the Junta.
