"Aung San Suu Kyi has said she is hopeful that Burma can get onto "the road to democracy", after talks with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
She welcomed reforms that have enabled her party to stand in elections, but said more needed to be done and called for political prisoners to be freed.
The Nobel laureate held a morning of talks with Mrs Clinton, the most senior American to visit Burma for 50 years.
They promised to work together to promote democracy in Burma.
"I am very confident that if we work together... there will be no turning back from the road to democracy," said Ms Suu Kyi after the talks.
But she added that the country was "not on that road yet"."
