Suu Kyi suggested to her colleagues that the generals could make a healing gesture after September's unrest by releasing political prisoners.
Amnesty International, a UK-based hu8man rights groups, said on that 700 political prisoners in detention in Myanmar, 91 of which were detained iduring the crackdown on pro-democracy protests in September.
However, appearing to concede that she will remain detained for the immediate future, Suu Kyi told her colleagues that she will ask for two liaison officers of her choice to help her communicate with them.
She said she will also ask Aung Kyi to make arrangements so that she can see the other party leaders whenever necessary.
In 1990 Suu Kyi's party won a general election but the generals have refused to recognise the result and she has been in government detention for 12 of the past 18 years.
