It’s time for healing, says Suu Kyi after junta meeting

Yangon: Detained Burmese opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi is optimistic after meeting Friday with a junta official and believes it is time for the “healing process” to start, her party said.

The pro-democracy leader also met with members of her National League for Democracy for the first time in more than three years amid hopes of a thaw in relations with the generals who crushed street protests against their rule in September. Aung San Suu Kyi met with three senior party members—Aung Shwe, Lwin, Nyunt Wai—and spokesman Nyan Win before meeting with labour minister Aung Kyi, whom the generals appointed as a go-between following international outrage at their deadly crackdown.

“Daw Aung San Suu Kyi said she believed the ruling authorities have the will for national reconciliation,” Nyan Win said. “Daw Aung San Suu Kyi said the bad events in September and October were sorrowful, not only for the NLD, but also for the government and the people.” .
