Rumours that Suu Kyi had fallen ill swirled around Yangon on Tuesday, but a spokesperson for her National League for Democracy (NLD) said the 62-year-old Nobel laureate was fine.

"She is okay," party spokesperson Nyan Win said.

A source at Asia Tawwin Hospital said Suu Kyi, who has spent 12 of the last 18 years in detention, had a minor operation to remove an ingrown finger nail and was returned to her lakeside home, where she is under house arrest.

Among those who met Gambari on Tuesday were General Aung Kyi, named the junta's go-between with Suu Kyi last month when he met her for 75 minutes.

It was Gambari's second meeting with Aung Kyi, but there was no word from the United Nations on the outcome of that or other talks.

A UN statement said human rights envoy Sergio Paulo Pinheiro would visit Myanmar from Nov. 11 to 15, the first time he has received a visa in four years.
