SINGAPORE – Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has congratulated the Chairperson of the National League for Democracy (NLD), Ms Aung San Suu Kyi, on the NLD’s victory in the Myanmar General Elections.

“Congratulations on leading the National League for Democracy (NLD) to another victory in Myanmar’s General Elections. The results reflect the confidence and trust the people of Myanmar have placed in the NLD’s leadership and vision for the country,” Mr Lee wrote in a letter to Ms Suu Kyi, according to a Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) press statement issued on Thursday (Nov 12).
