Obama invites Suu Kyi to US

Ben Rhodes, US deputy national security adviser, has held talks on bilateral relations with State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi in Nay Pyi Taw.

Rhodes presented US President Barack Obama’s official invitation letter to Suu Kyi, also the foreign minister, inviting her to visit the USA. The meeting focused on bilateral cooperation, the peace process, tensions in Rakhine State and regional development, according to Aye Aye Soe, deputy director-general from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

He asked about the US’s decision to extend sanctions against Myanmar and Suu Kyi said they would not have a great impact. The US representative said Washington would remove its sanctions when the country was on the right track, Aye Aye Soe added. (Courtesy of elevenmyanmar.com)
