The members of her National League for Democracy (NLD) party will take their seats for the first time on Monday.
In an address to parliament on Friday, Ms Suu Kyi congratulated her political opponents on "opening the road" for her party, which won a landslide in November elections.
"I believe we can all cooperate for our country and people, whether it is outside or inside the parliament," said Ms Suu Kyi, who was held captive for more than 15 years by the army.
Celebrating the transition and the end of the first term of parliament, the outgoing and incoming politicians from all parties, as well as a military bloc, performed traditional dances, shared food and took pictures in an emotional ceremony in the capital, Naypyidaw. (Courtesy of ABC News)
