EU mission to Burma
The European Union is spending a special mission to
Burma for talks with the military government and the
leader of the National League for Democracy, Aung Sang
Suu Kyi.
The three officials from Finland, Portugal and the
European Commission are due to arrive in the Burmese
capital, Rangoon, on Tuesday.
Correspondents say the EU is trying to broker a political
dialogue between the government and its opponents.
