YANGON (Reuters) - Myanmar's main opposition gave a cautious welcome on Tuesday to the naming of the junta's main trouble-shooter as "Minister of Relations" to act as a go-between with detained democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi. 

"It is a good sign. It is the way it should be," said Nyan Win, spokesman for Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD) party which won a massive election landslide in 1990 only to be denied power by the generals ruling the former Burma.
