ILO team meets with Suu Kyi, officials

YANGON (AFP): An International Labour Organisation (ILO) team
investigating the Myanmar junta's efforts to eradicate forced
labour has met with opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi and been
given access to every minister concerned, sources said on
Thursday.

The four-member ILO team, and seven experts accompanying it on
the three-week mission, had a working lunch with Aung San Suu Kyi
on Wednesday, an official source said.

Afterwards the ILO representatives held a meeting with ethnic
minority parties including the Shan NLD (National League for
Democracy), as part of a thorough briefing on labour conditions
in Myanmar.

Talks with the Attorney General and the Chief Justice were
also on the official itinerary which the Geneva-based United
Nations body is keeping tightly under wraps.
