NAY PYI TAW — Myanmar's Aung San Suu Kyi will address ethnic armed groups Tuesday, organisers of a fresh round of peace talks said, after she outlined peace as a priority for her government when it takes power in March.
The political dialogue stage of talks between the government, army and ethnic rebels, encompasses key economic and social issues that have spurred the violence, including the ownership of natural resources.
Suu Kyi, who led her party to victory in Myanmar's November elections, is expected to give an opening speech at the talks in the capital Nay Pyi Taw.
It is a rare appearance for the democracy figurehead at the years-long peace process, which has been steered by the country's reformist post-junta leadership. (Courtesy of Bangkokpost: News)
