JAKARTA, INDONESIA -- Myanmar's junta Thursday broke its isolation of detained opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi and held the first official talks since locking up the pro-democracy advocate more than 18 years ago.
The meeting was broadcast, without audio, by state-run television and showed Suu Kyi and the military regime's labor minister, Aung Kyi, sitting in high-back chairs and having a discussion for more than an hour in a state guest house. Suu Kyi was not allowed to make a public statement.
