US disappointed on no progress of dialogue in Burma

The White House said Wednesday that it was "pleased" that a spokesman for Burma's detained pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi had been able to make contact with the outside world.

But White House spokesman Tony Fratto said the US was "disappointed to hear that there has been no progress on a meaningful time-bound dialogue," between her and the military junta that rules Burma.

Earlier, the spokeperson of NLD said that pro-democracy leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi was not satisfied with the progress of her meeting with a representative of the ruling junta.
