Suu Kyi to be part of Burma's new democratic government

Burma's president-elect has proposed an 18-member Cabinet which will include party leader Aung San Suu Kyi, the former dissident who campaigned for decades to replace the military junta with a democratically elected government.

Htin Kyaw submitted the names to parliament for a formal review and approval by legislators on Wednesday, after which the ministers' Cabinet positions will be decided.
