[Joseph Yun, U.S. Diplomat]:
"We are trying to find a common ground between Washington and Nay Pyi Taw, of what we can do. And you know that we have a policy of engagement. So, I hope my visit has helped. Certainly I will take back what I've learned from Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and Nay Pyi Taw."
[Aung San Suu Kyi, Burmese Democracy Leader]:
"I believe in engagement because we can find common ground by engaging even with those who we do not agree with."
