16. 'Time for Healing'

Aung San Suu Kyi, Friday met an official of the junta and members of her own National League for Democracy.

Suu Kyi said she hopes the authorities this time have the will for reconciliation.

The spokesperson of the junta, Nyan Win said that the events of September and October in Myanmar were sorrowful to both parties.

Nyan Win said this time " the meeting was more optimistic and workable."

This meeting follows Ibrahim Gambari's six-day visit to persuade national reconciliation.

Aung San Suu Kyi is the daughter of independence hero, General Aung San. She spent 12 of the past 18 years under house arrest.

London based human rights organisation, Amnesty International, said Friday, Myanmar's military rulers were keeping 700 political prisoners in detention, 91 detained in September.
