Скачать или смотреть Lawmakers reax to Suu Kyi in Myanmar cabinet

(22 Mar 2016) Myanmar lawmakers were on Tuesday reacting to Aung San Suu Kyi's inclusion in the country's proposed new government.
President-elect Htin Kyaw proposed appointing 18 ministers in his Cabinet, including his party leader Suu Kyi.
Kyaw submitted the list to the country's Parliament in Naypyitaw.
Suu Kyi is not able to become President because of a constitutional block, even though she led her National League for Democracy party (NLD) to a landslide win in general elections last November.
Her name was on top of the list announced by Myanmar Upper House Speaker Mahn Win Khaing Than, who presided over Tuesday's joint session
It only contains the names, and their ministries will be decided later.
Myanmar was ruled by successive military juntas since 1962 and by a military-backed, nominally civilian government from 2011.
Suu Kyi's NLD came to power after a decades-long struggle for democracy followed by a historic landslide victory in last year's general election, and will form the first government to be elected democratically.
