Suu Kyi to meet Myanmar minister: official

By Hla Hla Htay (AFP) – 

YANGON — Myanmar's democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi will meet a minister on Monday in her first dialogue with the country's new civilian leadership, a government official told AFP on Saturday.

Suu Kyi has frequently called for dialogue with the government since her release from house arrest just days after last year's November elections, which were marred by claims of cheating and the exclusion of her party.

2nd Myanmar diplomat defects in Washington

The Associated Press

Published: Wednesday, Jul. 13, 2011 - 6:03 pm

WASHINGTON -- A former Myanmar envoy in Washington says another diplomat at that mission has followed him in seeking political asylum in the United States.

Former deputy chief of mission Kyaw Win tells The Associated Press that first secretary Soe Aung defected Wednesday after he was ordered back to Myanmar.

Kyaw Win said his own defection July 4 had prompted Myanmar authorities to summon Soe Aung for questioning. Kyaw Win had accused Myanmar's military of clinging to power in the Asian country.

State Department deputy spokesman Mark Toner said the department does not publicly comment on asylum requests unless the individual publicly announces the request.

Soe Aung could not immediately be reached by phone.

Aung Din of the U.S. Campaign for Burma confirmed the defection.

Suu Kyi criticises restoration of Myanmar temples

Pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, on July 11, decried restoration work on Myanmar's centuries-old Bagan temples for not meeting international standards. 

Her visit to Bagan last week was her first trip out of Yangon since being released from house arrest last year.

Bagan, also known as Pagan, has more than 2,800 monuments built between the 10th and 14th centuries. The central Myanmar site is considered one of South-East Asia's major historical landmarks, with Cambodia's Angkor Wat and Indonesia's Borobodur temple.

Power struggle in 'democratic' Myanmar

By Larry Jagan

BANGKOK - The trappings of the old military regime that ruled Myanmar are slowly fading from view under new democratically elected president Thein Sein and his promises of reform. At the same time, a budding power struggle between the president and vice president Thin Aung Myint Oo has pitted moderate versus hardline agendas and stalled significantly the new government's economic and political progress.
