Detained Myanmar's opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi has been allowed to meet top officials of her party – National League for Democracy (NLD). The meeting – the first of its kind this year – gives her the opportunity to pay respects to three ailing party colleagues, the youngest of whom is 85. Ms Suu Kyi had requested the meeting last month in a letter to Myanmar's military leader Than Shwe. In her letter Ms Suu Kyi also suggested a face-to-face meeting with the general and offered her cooperation on matters of national interest. <br/><br/>She has spent most of the past 20 years under house arrest. Her latest term of detention was extended earlier this year. <br/><br/> <br/>
