Aung San Suu Kyi calls for easing of US sanctions


Pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi says she favours the easing of the remaining US sanctions still in place against Burma. She was speaking on the first full day of her 2-week tour of the United States. She held extensive talks in Washington with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton - it's her first visit to the US capital since she was freed from detention and won election to Parliament.
And she urged the United States to continue supporting the country Washington still calls Burma in its political transition.
Secretary of State Clinton says there's more work to be accomplished in the country the US still calls Burma in order to cement the move towards democracy. Listen RealAudioMP3
