Government Welcomes Suu Kyi?s Return to Yangon, as Talks with 
NLD Continue

		The government of Myanmar welcomed the return to Yangon this afternoon of
Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi, an official of her National League for Democracy, and
their two chauffeurs. The group returned to Yangon together with the two
physicians  at approximately 3:30 this afternoon, after spending 12 days
visiting the local village of Anyarsu. 
		Earlier this morning, the Government helped two personal physicians of Ms.
Aung San Suu Kyi to meet with her. The two physicians, Dr. Tin Myo Win and Dr.
Pyone Mo Ei, brought some fresh fruits, (2) boxes of cookies, a dozen bottles
of mineral water, medications and clothing to Ms. Su Kyi.  Ms. Suu Kyi had
been complaining of constipation and dehydration, common ailments that are
easily treatable.
		Also this morning, two top NLD officials met with Minister for Home Affairs
Col. Tin Hlaing. The two officials, U Than Tun and U Soe Myint, both members
of the NLD?s Central Executive Committee, met with government officials at
1:00 this afternoon for talks described as ? frank and cordial.?
		The Government regrets that the NLD has been putting out statements
frequently which are provocative and in some cases quite contrary to the
truth.
		The Government hopes that the NLD appreciates the beginning of the period of
a conciliation and understanding and to continue its cooperation and mutual
help in building a better future for the people of Myanmar.
