Myanmar's top general listens to Aung San Suu Kyi. Will the Army follow her?

The transition from military to democratic rule in Myanmar took a symbolic step forward Wednesday. But the pace of transition is still an open question.

Aung San Suu Kyi, leader of the National League for Democracy (NLD) party in Myanmar, met with army chief Min Aung Hlaing and outgoing President Thein Sein Wednesday to discuss the upcoming leadership transition after a massive NLD victory in elections last month.

Before driving away in his car, the general smiled and told reporters, “We had very nice talks.”
