Suu Kyi, who was only told of the meeting on Sunday, talked for
just over an hour with Labor Minister Aung Kyi in what was the first known
contact between the 66-year-old and a member of the new, nominally civilian
government.
In a joint statement, both parties said they were positive and
satisfied with the meeting, in which they had discussed issues that would be of
benefit to Myanmar's people. With Suu Kyi beside him, Aung Kyi read a joint
statement to the media.
"Discussions were focused on possibilities for
cooperating in the interests of the people," he said. "This included
the rule of law and overcoming disunity, and matters that will benefit the
public."
