The United Nation's Special Envoy to Burma, Ibrahim Gambari, has met the pro-democracy leader Aung Sang Suu Kyi at her home in the country's largest city, Rangoon.
The meeting is said to have taken place in the country's largest city, Rangoon, where the ruling military government have been violently suppressing anti-government protests.
Mr Gambari is in Burma in an attempt to negotiate an end to the military regime's violent crackdown on mass pro-democracy protests.
Earlier, Mr Gambari also met military leaders, although no details have been released.
Mr Gambari, has yet to meet the country's senior general, Than Shwe or his deputy.
The number of protestors on the streets of Rangoon today is significantly smaller than in previous days, with many monks arrested, or confined to their monasteries.
Burma's closest ally, China, has made its strongest call yet for the military regime to end its violent crackdown on the protestors.
It comes after the EU urged China to lean harder on the ruling military.
Speaking at the UN, the Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi said his government was hoping all sides would show restraint.
