U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Kurt Campbell met with detained Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi on Wednesday, becoming the highest-ranking American official to visit the Nobel Peace Prize laureate in 14 years. Campbell, the top U.S. diplomat for East Asia, greeted Suu Kyi with a handshake after she was driven to his lakeside hotel in Yangon where they met privately for two hours, said U.S. Embassy spokesman Richard Mei. Campbell and his deputy, Scot Marciel, are the highest-level Americans to visit Myanmar since 1995, The Associated Press reported.
