EU foreign policy chief Ashton on hopes for Burma
The European Union foreign policy chief has met Burma's pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
Catherine Ashton, who is in the country to show the EU's support for recent political reforms, said she would open a new, embassy-level office in Rangoon.
Speaking at a news conference, she said: "We know that changes take time, they need to be well embedded. They need to be guaranteed so that people can feel confident in their own future."
