Visiting United States Assistant Secretary of State for East Asia Kurt Campbell met with house- confined General Secretary of the National League for Democracy (NLD) Aung San Suu Kyi at the Inya Lake Hotel in Yangon Wednesday under arrangement made by the Myanmar government.

Campbell is another high-ranking US official to have met with Aung San Suu Kyi after Senator Jim Webb, Chairman of the East Asian and Pacific Affairs Subcommittee of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, who visited Myanmar in August.

The meeting took place after Campbell flew back from Nay Pyi Taw where he met with Myanmar Prime Minister General Thein Sein earlier on the day.

No details are immediately available about all of their meetings.

Campbell is also scheduled to meet the leadership of some political parties including Aung San Suu Kyi's NLD in Yangon later on Wednesday.

Accompanied by Deputy Assistant Secretary Scot Marciel, Campbell arrived in Nay Pyi Taw Tuesday on a two-day mission to Myanmar to continue dialogue with the country and Campbell's trip is marked as the highest-level one to Myanmar of the U.S. in 14 years since 1995.

After his arrival on Tuesday, Campbell met with Information Minister Brigadier-General Kyaw Hsan, Science and Technology Minister U Thaung, Chief Justice U Aung Toe who is also Chairman of both the Commission for Drafting State Constitution and for Holding Nationwide Referendum as well as ethnic peace groups.

Campbell's Nay Pyi Taw trip is marked as the U.S. highest-level one to Myanmar in 14 years since 1995.

In August, U.S. Senator Jim Webb, who is also Chairman of the East Asian and Pacific Affairs Subcommittee of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, visited Myanmar, meeting separately with Myanmar top leader Senior-General Than Shwe and Aung San Suu Kyi.

In September, on the sideline of the U.N. General Assembly in New York, Campbell had the first dialogue with Myanmar Minister of Science and technology U Thaung and Myanmar Ambassador to the U.N. U Than Swe, while Myanmar Prime Minister General Thein Sein met with Jim Webb.

Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced in September that Washington would shift its policy towards Myanmar by direct engagement with it while keeping sanctions in place.

On Sept. 9, the Myanmar government allowed Aung San Suu Kyi on request to meet with diplomats of the U.S., Britain and Australia in Yangon to enable them to explore ways of removing Western sanctions against Myanmar.
