The leader of Burma’s opposition Aung San Suu Kyi has warned against “over optimism” on democratic progress in the country and said that reforms have stalled.
She said that talks with the government had achieved little and no real reforms had been made over the past two years.
"We do think there have been times when the United States government has been overly optimistic about the reform process," the leader of the opposition National League for Democracy said.
But she also pointed out that the lack of significant reforms is "something the United States thinks about very seriously as well".
Next week several world leaders, including US President Barack Obama, will attend an international summit in Burma, the most prestigious in the country's history.
