Burma's Suu Kyi requests meeting
Updated on 16 November 2009
Burma's detained opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi has sent a letter to the head of the country's ruling junta seeking a meeting to discuss how she can work for the national interest.
Nyan Win, a spokesman for Ms Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy party, said that in her letter last week to Senior General Than Shwe she also sought permission to meet at her home with other members of her party's central executive committee.
Ms Suu Kyi's party has long sought a dialogue with the government, but its advances have mostly been spurned.
