YANGON, Myanmar – U.N. envoy Ibrahim Gambari met with detained opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi and Myanmar’s junta leaders, diplomats said today.
Mr. Gambari has been in the country trying to persuade the junta to end a deadly crackdown on pro-democracy protestors seeking an end to 45 years of military rule.
Mr. Gambari came from the remote bunker-like capital Naypyitaw after an overnight stay where he met with junta leaders. He was taken to the State Guest House on University Avenue in Yangon for a meeting with Suu Kyi, said the diplomats, speaking on condition of anonymity, citing protocol.
