Burma's pro-democracy leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi met with members of her party Thursday for the first time in three years amid early signs that the country's political deadlock may be easing.

News agencies reported that she also met with Aung Kyi, the general appointed as a liaison by Myanmar's military government.

The meetings come a day after Aung San Suu Kyi said she was ready to cooperate with the government.

"In the interest of the nation, I stand ready to cooperate with the government in order to make this process of dialogue a success," Aung San Suu Kyi said in a statement read in Singapore by the United Nations special envoy, Ibrahim Gambari.
