BANGKOK (Reuter): Myanmarese Foreign Minister Ohn Gyaw said
yesterday that recent meetings between his country's military
rulers and detained opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi helped
build mutual understanding and were likely to continue.

Thai Prime Minister Chuan Leekpai said Ohn Gyaw gave the
assurances after he enquired after Suu Kyi in a one-hour meeting
also attended by Thai Foreign Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.

"The Burmese (Myanmarese) said the meeting helped to create
confidence and understanding on both sides and there are good
prospects for another meeting," a government spokesman quoted
Chuan as saying.

Ohn Gyaw said Myanmar's ruling State Law and Order Restoration
Council (SLORC) sincerely intended to resolve its political
problems, Thaksin added.
