Myanmar government and opposition leader Suu Kyi to "avoid conflict"
Published in Saudi Press Agency on 12 - 08 - 2011


Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi and the
country's newly elected government have agreed to "avoid conflicts,"
Suu Kyi said in a joint statement with a government representative, according to dpa.
"We will avoid conflicts and will cooperate together," Suu Kyi
said in a joint statement made with Myanmar Labour Minister Aung Kyi,
whom she met in Yangon for the second time since her release from
house arrest on November 13.
Suu Kyi last met with Aung Kyi, the government's main liaison
person for the Nobel laureate, on July 25.
"We will meet frequently in the future," Suu Kyi and Aung Kyi said
after a one-hour meeting.
The international community and Myanmar's Asian allies have
repeatedly called on the government to open dialogue with Suu Kyi and
other opposition groups.
Suu Kyi, the daughter of Myanmar independence hero Aung San, has
spent 15 of the past 21 years under house arrest. She was last
released on November 13, from a seven-year detention term.
Since she was incarcerated, she could not contest the November 7
polls. Her National League for Democracy party boycotted the election
and was disbanded afterwards.
"Even though the NLD is an illegal party, the government has been
dealing with the them patiently," Myanmar Information Minister Kyaw
Hsan said Friday.
He urged the NLD to reregister as a party if they wished to
participate in politics.
Kyaw Hsan said the government's willingness to talk to Suu Kyi was
in keeping with President Thein Sein's inaugural speech on March 30
when he said the government was ready to work with everyone for the
development of the country.
Myanmar has been under military rule since 1962. The pro-military
Union Solidarity and Development Party won the November 7 polls,
which observers labelled neither free nor fair.
Myanmar ranks among the world's pariah states for its poor human
rights and political reform record, but Kyaw Hsan hinted that changes
were in the wind.
He noted that the ICRC had resumed prison visits and aid
programmes on 1 July.
"And I can inform you now that the UN rapporteur on Myanmar's
human rights situation, Tomas Ojea Quintana, is going to visit soon,"
