Senior Gen. Than Shwe            

Chairman State Peace and Development Council

Dated: 11 November 2009

Subject: Follow-up letter for lifting sanctions

1. I am very much obliged to express my grateful thanks to the State Peace and Development
Council for providing arrangements making possible a meeting between political organizations
and US diplomats, led by Assistant Secretary of State Mr. Kurt Campbell, during their recent
visit to Burma.

2. Similarly I would like to express my grateful thanks, following my letter stipulating my desire
to cooperate with the State Peace and Development Council on the lifting of sanctions, for
providing me with proper arrangements pertaining to my fact finding on sanctions imposed on
Burma.

3. I hope I can cooperate with the State Peace and Development Council in activities that can
benefit the State.

4. I want to invite all National League for Democracy Central Executive Committee members to
my home to discuss greater efficiency in our party activities. I would further like to pay homage
to senior party leaders, Chairman U Aung Shwe, Secretary U Lwin and CEC member U Lun
Tin, at their respective homes as they are confined to their homes due to failing health. As such,
I would like to ask permission for the necessary arrangements to be made for allowing the
convening of a CEC meeting at my home to be attended by all CEC members.

5. After meeting with all CEC members, I would like to say that I want to cooperate more with
the State Peace and Development Council in activities beneficial to the State.

6. For these activities that can benefit the State, and relating to areas in which I can cooperate
with the State Peace and Development Council, I humbly request permission for myself to meet
with the Senior General.

Yours respectfully,

Aung San Suu Kyi
