U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Kurt Campbell met with detained Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi on Nov. 4, becoming the highest-ranking American official to visit the Nobel Peace Prize laureate in 14 years.

Campbell, the top U.S. diplomat for East Asia, greeted Suu Kyi with a handshake after she was driven to his lakeside hotel in Yangon where they met privately for two hours, said spokesman Richard Mei.

Campbell and his deputy, Scot Marciel, are the highest-level Americans to visit Myanmar since 1995. Their two-day trip, which included talks with senior junta officials, stems from a new U.S. policy that reverses the Bush administration's isolation of Myanmar in favor of dialogue with a country that has been ruled by the military since 1962.
