(Newser) – Burma's democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi huddled with the country's president for two hours yesterday in the first meeting between the two leaders since Suu Kyi was elected to parliament, reports CNN. Details of their talk were not released, although a government spokesman did say a range of issues was discussed. Suu Kyi had met with President U Thein Sein twice before, most recently in April.
