YANGON (AP) - Myanmar democracy movement leader Aung San Suu Kyi has met with a Cabinet minister to discuss issues whose resolution could lead to a breakthrough in the country's long-running political deadlock.

Labour Minister Aung Kyi read a joint statement after meeting Ms Suu Kyi on Sunday that said the two had discussed an amnesty, peace talks with ethnic armed groups and economic and financial matters. Some 200 of an estimated 2,000 political prisoners were released on Oct 11 under an amnesty for 6,300 convicts.

An elected but military-backed government took power in March after decades of repressive army rule and President Thein Sein has moved to liberalise the political atmosphere.

“It’s not easy, but it’s getting on,” Suu Kyi said via satellite during an event organized by the Clinton Global Initiative, the Sept. 20-22 gathering of former and current world leaders in New York led by former U.S. President Bill Clinton. “I’m cautiously optimistic that we’re going forward,” she said. “We are beginning to see the beginning of change.”

(New PM Thein Sein has held talks with Aung San Suu Kyi in recent weeks, in one sign of change)

An influential think-tank has urged Western nations to acknowledge and support what it calls the major changes taking place in Burma.

The International Crisis Group (ICG) says there is now a unique opportunity to engage with the country's relatively new civilian-led government.
