Aung San Suu Kyi calls on NLD MPs to cooperate in parliamentary affairs

Aung San Suu Kyi, chairperson of the ruling National League for Democracy (NLD), Monday urged NLD MPs to cooperate faithfully in parliamentary affairs.

Aung San Suu Kyi made the call while meeting the MPs on the sidelines of a parliamentary session, according to NLD MP U Aung Kyi Nyunt.

U Aung Kyi Nyunt said the meeting had dealt with how to continue the party and parliamentary work which Suu Kyi will no longer be allowed to undertake once becoming a cabinet member according to the constitution.
