Aung San Suu Kyi has finally locked down meetings with the country’s two most powerful leaders, President Thein Sein and Commander-in-Chief Min Aung Hlaing, three weeks after her party’s decisive election victory.
The victorious opposition leader will meet them separately in Naypyitaw on Wednesday, according to Facebook announcements by the president and military chief posted within minutes of each other.
The pair had previously said they would only meet with the victorious opposition leader once the Union Election Commission had finished resolving disputes – a process that is still ongoing.
Suu Kyi sent letters requesting talks with the pair and Union Parliamentary Speaker Shwe Mann to discuss the transfer of power immediately afer the National League for Democracy’s landslide win at November 8 polls.
All acknowledged the request and Shwe Mann met with her on November 19.
