Representatives from Myanmar's government met with a team from the opposition National League for Democracy (NLD) party on Wednesday in Naypyidaw to discuss the transfer of political power that will formally take place on April 1, a member of the president’s office said.
“Today’s meeting mainly focused on the transfer-of-power ceremony scheduled to be held at the Presidential Palace,” Zaw Htay, deputy director general of the president’s office, who attended the meeting, told RFA’s Myanmar Service.
The government formed the support committee to handle the power transfer following a meeting between President Thein Sein and NLD chairwoman Aung San Suu Kyi in early December.
