Yangon, Dec 20, AP:
Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi met Thailand’s prime minister on Tuesday in her first ever audience with a head of government from the region, her political party said.
The meeting was also Suu Kyi’s first with a prime minister since her release from house arrest about a year ago, National League for Democracy spokesman Nyan Win said.
Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra attended a two-day summit of regional leaders in Myanmar’s capital, Naypyidaw, and than traveled to Yangon to meet Suu Kyi at the Thai ambassador’s residence. Details of the half-hour talks were not available.
Yingluck afterward visited Yangon’s Shwedagon pagoda, the country’s most revered Buddhist shrine.
