　　A European Union delegation was expected Tuesday in Rangoon for talks with
Burmese democracy activist Aung San Suu Kyi. The delegation is led by Robert
Cooper, a special adviser to EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton. The
delegation was in the administrative capital of Naypyitaw Monday to meet with
Foreign Minister Wunna Maung Lwin and other top officials.
        　　Before traveling to Burma, the delegates said they wanted to see whether
the country's new government is serious about democratic reform. A long-ruling
junta handed over power at the end of March to a new administration made up
mostly of its own supporters. In Rangoon, the delegation is also expected to
meet members of the National League for Democracy, the influential opposition
party led by Aung San Suu Kyi. A party spokesman told the Burmese exile
newspaper The Irrawaddy that the party wanted to speak to the Europeans about
new fighting between government forces and ethnic-based armies in the north of
the country.
