Listen to audioNLD: "no sign of dialogue"
The Burmese opposition, the National League for Democracy, says that for one month there's been no sign of any dialogue with the military government.
The spokesman for the League, Nyan Win, said he'd not been allowed to speak to the detained opposition leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, since before her last meeting with a government minister on the nineteenth of November.
The United Nations said there had been progress towards a dialogue after a mission to Burma by a senior envoy.

| Daw Aung San Su Kyi has spent most of the past eighteen years under house arrest. |
The United States House of Representatives has voted unanimously to award the Burmese pro-democracy leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, its highest civilian honour -- the Congressional Gold Medal.
Members of the House made clear the award was intended to send a message to the Burmese military leadership that the US would continue to press for Aung San Suu Kyi's release.
She has spent most of the past eighteen years under house arrest.
Many western countries repeated their calls for her release following the pro-democracy marches in Burma in September.
