Daw Aung San Suu Kyi meets party leaders

The detained Burmese pro-democracy leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, has been allowed to meet some top leaders of her political party for the first time in more than four years.

She was driven from her heavily guarded home in Rangoon to a government guest house for the talks.

Officials from her party, the National League for Democracy, say she told her colleagues she thought the military government was willing to work for reconciliation. She also held talks with a government official.

The discussions follow a visit by the United Nations special envoy, Ibrahim Gambari, who has been pressing the military government for reform following the suppression of protests in September.
