Myanmar's National League for Democracy (NLD), led by Aung San Suu Kyi, Tuesday expressed welcome in a special announcement for a dialogue to solve the country's issues in response to the current offer by the government.
A government announcement on last Thursday said Senior-General Than Shwe, Chairman of the State Peace and Development Council, is willing to meet and talk personally on conditions with Aung San Suu Kyi if she declares to abandon her "exerted efforts for confrontation, utter devastation, and imposing all kinds of sanctions including economic sanctions against Myanmar."
The NLD Central Executive Committee announcement stressed that the main requirement to solve the critical issues which the country is facing is the desire for meeting and having dialogue, adding that it favors no pre-conditions for the move.
Than Shwe made the offer when he met with Ibrahim Gambari, Special Envoy of the United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, on Oct. 4 who was on a special mission to Myanmar.
As a follow-up, as proposed by Gambari, the Myanmar government appointed on Monday Deputy Minister of Labor U Aung Kyi to act as liaison minister to get link with Aung San Suu Kyi.
Before ending his trip, Gambari met with Than Shwe in Nay Pyi Taw and twice with Aung San Suu Kyi in Yangon.
Gambari came on Sept. 29 amid widespread mass demonstrations by Buddhist monks and people in several parts of the country. He arrived in Yangon via Singapore to look into the situation of the country and play the UN's part in seeking for Myanmar's national reconciliation.
