Two senior US envoys arrived in Myanmar Tuesday for rare talks with the ruling junta and detained democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi, a US embassy official told AFP.
The trip by Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs Kurt Campbell and his deputy Scot Marciel is the latest move by President Barack Obama's administration to engage the military regime.
"The plane just landed" in the administrative capital Naypyidaw, US embassy spokesman Richard Mei told AFP.
"They are due to meet with senior government officials today. Tomorrow they will be in Yangon and meet with Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and other opposition leaders," he said.
