UN chief hails Suu Kyi's compromise
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has praised Burma’s opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi for supporting democratisation by making a political compromise.
Mr Ban said after meeting Ms Suu Kyi that he admired her for agreeing to drop a demand that the wording of the oath of office be changed before her party members take their seats in parliament, which is expected on Wednesday.
