Last week, Yohei Sasakawa, the government's special envoy for national reconciliation in Myanmar, met with a top NLD member and handed over a letter from Prime Minister Shinzo Abe inviting Suu Kyi to visit Japan, the Japanese Foreign Ministry said.
President Thein Sein and Commander-in-Chief Snr-Gen Min Aung Hlaing have agreed to meet National League for Democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi on Wednesday, ending almost three weeks of uncertainty in the wake of the NLD's emphatic election victory.
The Nobel Peace Prize victor also told lawmakers that they'd be taking a salary cut of 25 per cent in a gesture to the largely poor people who elected them, said an MP who attended the meeting.
But Suu Kyi is still banned under the army-drafted constitution from becoming president because she married and had children with a foreigner. (Courtesy of examinerpress.com)
