Thura Shwe Mann, Suu Kyi hold talks

The speaker of the parliament and the National League for Democracy (NLD) leader reportedly met on March 10 in a meeting that lasted about 20 minutes.

NLD leader Aung San Suu Kyi declined to reveal what was discussed during the meeting.

Thura Shwe Mann and Aung San Suu Kyi frequently meet at the parliament during parliamentarian sessions.

Suu Kyi also had a one-on-one meeting with President Thein Sein on March 2, to discuss about the upcoming general election and amending the national constitution.

Yet, she denied meeting the commander-in-chief on March 9.

Although the NLD leader has asked for a four-party meeting to amend the constitution, her request has so far been ignored by the government.
