    The foreign ministers of Myanmar and Finland met on Sunday, in
the first top-level contact between officials of the two countries
since the European Union (EU) slapped economic sanctions on Yangon in
1996.
     Myanmar Foreign Minister Win Aung told Kyodo News he and Finnish 
Foreign Minister Tarja Halonen had a 40-minute meeting. ''The initial 
contact is very much important,'' he said.
