Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi and current Parliament Speaker U Shwe Mann on Thursday agreed to place emphasis on national reconciliation and national consolidation in forming the new parliament, said a joint statement following talks between the two figures in Nay Pyi Taw.

Suu Kyi met U Shwe Mann in the capital for the first ever dialogue requested by Suu Kyi after her National League or Democracy (NLD) won a landslide victory in the Nov. 8 general election.

The two sides concurred to coordinate and cooperate in forming parliament of the second term under law.
