"Burma's prime minister told Asian counterparts Saturday that the ruling junta could relax the conditions of democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi's detention, a Japanese official said. The Nobel Peace laureate had "softened" her attitude towards the military regime since her house arrest was extended in August for a further 18 months, the official quoted Burmese premier Thein Sein as saying.

But while Thein Sein announced at a regional summit in Thailand that Burma also wants elections next year to be "inclusive", he would not say if Suu Kyi would be allowed to participate, the official said. . .

Kodama said that the Burmese regime "thinks if Aung San Suu Kyi maintains a good attitude it is possible that Burmese authorities will relax the current measures. "The (Burmese) government is... making preparations to make (next year's) election (an) inclusive election. The government would like to ensure all the stakeholders will take part in such a process." The regime has faced huge pressure, especially from the West, for its detention of Suu Kyi, who has spent 14 of the last 20 years in detention."
