Suu Kyi to meet junta soon

KUALA LUMPUR: The United Nation's special envoy to Myanmar said on Tuesday the Opposition leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, was ready to work with the country's military rulers to help bring about democracy and talks would begin soon. ``There is a common effort to try to discuss the necessary political and constitutional issues,'' the Malaysian diplomat, Razali Ismail, told Reuters on his return to Kuala Lumpur after a six-day visit to Yangon. Mr. Razali said the discussions would take place ``very, very soon''. He said the talks would certainly happen before his next visit to the country, due within a ``couple of months''. The envoy also gave Reuters a written statement. ``Mr Razali was informed by Aung San Suu Kyi that as a consequence of her recent travels, she was willing to co-operate with the Government in ways that directly benefit all the peoples of Myanmar and are conducive to the evolution of a democratic state,'' it said.
