昂山素季與緬總統討論權力交接問題
Myanmar democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi held talks Wednesday with President Thein Sein to discuss a smooth and peaceful transfer of power to the country's first democratically-elected government after nearly five decades of military-rule.
The brief meeting between the Nobel Peace laureate and the outgoing president at his residence in the capital, Naypyitaw, was part of Aung San Suu Kyi's push for for "national reconciliation" talks. She plans to meet with General Min Aung Hlaing, Myanmar's military chief, later Wednesday.
Under Myanmar's current constitution, the military retains control of 25 percent of all parliamentary seats, as well as control of several key government posts, including defense, interior and border security.
Many in the country fear the military will ignore the results of last month's election and maintain its grip on power, just as it did in 1990, when it cast aside a landslide victory by the NLD and put Aung San Suu Kyi under house arrest for the next 20 years.
But the president and Hlaing have pledged to accept the results of the November election.緬甸民主運動領袖昂山素季星期三與吳登盛總統舉行會談，討論平穩交接權力的問題。經過近50年的軍人統治後，緬甸將成立第一個經民主選舉產生的政府。
諾貝爾和平獎得主昂山素季與即將卸任的吳登盛在首都內比都的總統官邸進行了短時間會晤。這是昂山素季推動展開“全國和解”對話的組成部分。昂山素季計劃於星期三晚些時候會見緬甸軍方首腦敏昂萊將軍。
緬甸現行憲法規定，軍方將控制議會中25%的席位以及幾個關鍵的政府部門，包括國防部、內政部和邊境安全部。
很多緬甸人擔心軍方會仿照1990年的做法，無視選舉結果，繼續掌權。1990年，民盟在選舉中大獲全勝後，軍方拒絕接受選舉結果，並將昂山素季軟禁。
但吳登盛和敏昂萊都已保證接受11月的選舉結果。
