Myanmar to resume constitutional talks by December: UN envoy
YANGON (AFP): Constitutional talks suspended by Myanmar's military
rulers and designed as the first step on the junta's "road map" to
democracy, are due to resume by December, a visiting UN envoy said on
Saturday.
Former Indonesian foreign minister Ali Alatas on Friday held a rare
meeting with the junta's top five leaders to discuss reforms at the
United Nations, and later met organizers of a national convention
charged with drafting a new constitution.
Alatas, who wrapped up the last of a three-day visit to impoverished
Myanmar, told reporters the meeting with constitutional talks
organizers and others with government-backed social groups were added
to his agenda by the junta.
"It was quite interesting but I didn't come for this," Alatas said,
stressing his mandate was the UN reform process.
He said national convention senior organizer Judge Aung Toe told him
the talks -- which the junta suspended in March -- would resume by
December.
"All I did was listen to what they have to say," he said.
