(Mizzima) - Burma’s opposition leader and democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi met foreign diplomats in a government guest house for about an hour on Friday.

The detained Nobel Peace Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi was allowed to meet diplomats from United States, United Kingdom and Australia at the Seinleikanthar government house in Rangoon from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. (local time).

The meeting came a day after the Burmese junta’s Liaison Minister Aung Kyi met Aung San Suu Kyi on Wednesday to discuss the proposal by the Nobel Peace Laureate to junta supremo Snr. Gen Than Shwe.

In late September, the detained pro-democracy leader sent a proposal to Than Shwe offering to help out in easing western economic sanctions.  But in order to do so, she requested the government to arrange meetings between her and diplomats of the US, UK and Australia to understand the depth of the sanctions and the stance of these governments.
