Undesirable Political Gridlock betw (r)

[enmasse_1@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi Ko Okkar,


As we all know, the following news popped up very recently just 3 days 
before the August 21 deadline to convene the parliament in Burma.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuesday August 18 10:31 AM EDT Myanmar government, opposition leaders 
meet

By Aung Hla Tun 

YANGON, Myanmar (Reuters) - Senior members of Myanmar's military
government and the pro-democracy opposition met for the first time in
more than a year Tuesday while opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi kept
up a weeklong roadside protest.

The head of Myanmar's military intelligence arm, Secretary One Khin
Nyunt, met Aung Shwe, the chairman of the opposition National League
for Democracy (NLD), for 45 minutes in the afternoon, government 
officials said.

But, last time you wrote :


-------------------------------------------------------------------
>>The invitation was made by the Deputy Minister of the Home Affairs 
>>and do you think that Gen. Khin Nyunt will include in that level?
 ........
 ...........
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Sorry, about my late response. I was preoccupied with something else. 
But, I guess your question was already been answered by this latest news 
by now.

I can't help noticing that Secretary-1 Khin Nyunt was involved this time 
in the first contact meeting. Nevertheless, could you let us know who 
made the invitation this time and who are other the senior members of 
the junta other than Secretary One that met U Aung Shwe of the NLD. 
(Nothing special though.) I just want to hear what you have to say again 
this time.

In soliderity with the NLD's movements,
