A range of political parties in Burma have welcomed remarks by Aung San Suu Kyi, whose National League for Democracy (NLD) party won a resounding victory in the Nov. 8 general election, that her administration would include ethnic minorities and members of other political parties among its cabinet and promote national reconciliation.

Sai Leik, a spokesperson for the Shan Nationalities League for Democracy (SNLD), said the party was optimistic about greater minority representation in the future government.
