Myanmar's detained pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi on Wednesday met with top members of her party as well as with a government liaison officer, an official told AFP.

The talks lasted about 90 minutes and took place at a military facility near her lakeside home in Yangon, where she has spent 12 of the last 18 years under house arrest, the official said.

The Nobel peace prize winner was taken to and from her home in an official convoy, witnesses said.

During the talks, she was allowed to speak with members of the Central Executive Committee of her National League for Democracy (NLD) party and with the liaison officer, Labour Minister Aung Kyi, the official said.

Aung San Suu Kyi was last allowed to meet with her party's leadership on November 9, when she spoke with four top party members for about one hour at the same military compound.
