Suu KyiNay Pyi Taw: Myanmar President U Thein Sein on Sunday promised to systematically transfer power to the new government. U Thein Sein made the remarks when meeting for the first time political parties a week after the country's multi-tiered elections, in which the National League for Democracy (NLD) Party, led by Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, attained the absolute majority.

The current government will work for smooth and peaceful transition during the remaining period of its term in line with the existing laws, procedures, prescriptions and practices, the President said. He called for convening the second term of Parliament in order to carry out the peaceful transfer of power to the new government. Speaking of the Nationwide Ceasefire Accord (NCA) with various ethnic armed groups, he believed that the new government would implement it to the best of its ability based on the already achieved foundation for domestic peace.
