It is Ms. Suu Kyi’s first visit to India after her National League for Democracy wrested power from the military junta in a landmark election earlier this year. Ms. Suu Kyi, who could not become Myanmar’s President due to a constitutional provision but has full control over the government, holds the position of State Councillor and Foreign Minister. Welcoming Ms. Suu Kyi, the Prime Minister described India as her second home. Ms. Suu Kyi had done her graduation from the Delhi University. The Prime Minister said that as close and friendly neighbours, the security interests of India and Myanmar were closely aligned.
