Labour Minister Aung Kyi described last month's meeting as positive
The first meeting last month raised hopes for political dialogue between the two sides.
Ms Suu Kyi is also due to make her first political trip outside Rangoon since being freed from house arrest.
Meanwhile, officials are to hold the first media briefing since the new government took office in March.
The state-run New Light of Myanmar newspaper says a new 11-member government information team was formed on Wednesday.
Government warning
After a meeting with the 66-year-old political activist in
July, Labour Minister Aung Kyi described the talks as positive, saying
they had discussed the rule of law and ways to eliminate
misunderstandings for the good of the people.
Less than a month before the meeting, the government had
warned Aung San Suu Kyi to stop all political activities and cautioned
against her travelling outside Rangoon.
Before being released from house arrest last November, Ms Suu
Kyi had spent most of the previous 20 years in some form of detention
because of her efforts to bring democracy to military-ruled Burma.
She was banned from standing in last year's elections, which
were boycotted by her supporters and condemned by Western nations as a
sham.
Friday's meeting comes two days before Aung San Suu Kyi is
due to travel to the Bago region, about 50 miles (80km) from Rangoon,
for political purposes.
In July, she travelled to the ancient temple city of Bagan with one of her sons, Kim Aris, who described the visit as a holiday.
In a separate development, ethnic Karen rebels in the east of
the country said they had attacked an army post, killing six government
soldiers, AP news agency reports.
Sources from the Karen National Liberation Army and Thai
intelligence said the attack took place in Hlaing Bwe township, near the
border with Thailand, on Wednesday night, according to the news agency.
The group has been fighting for independence for more than 60 years.
