Burma's pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi has held her first meeting with the senior military official appointed to liaise with her.She spent just over an hour with former general Aung Kyi, state media said.Aung Kyi was given the task of liaising between the government and Ms Suu Kyi earlier this month, in an apparent concession to international pressure.
Previous attempts to build dialogue between the military and Ms Suu Kyi - the head of the National League for Democracy party - have come to nothing. Senior military generals are reported to find even the mention of her name distasteful, and she has spent 12 of the past 18 years under house arrest.
