Senior US Diplomat to Visit Burma This Week

   VOA News 06 December 2010

   Burmese  officials  say  a  senior  U.S. diplomat will arrive in Burma
   Tuesday for the first high-level talks between the two countries since
   the release from house arrest of democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
   The  officials  say  U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for East
   Asia  and the Pacific Joseph Y. Yun is scheduled to spend four days in
   Burma.  He  is  expected  to  meet  with  Aung  San Suu Kyi as well as
   political and military leaders.
   The Nobel peace laureate was released from seven years of house arrest
   on   November   13,  just  days  after  the  country  held  its  first
   parliamentary elections in 20 years.

   U.S.  President  Barack  Obama  and  other Western leaders accused the
   military  government  of  stealing the election by imposing rules that
   made it impossible for opposition parties to compete effectively.
