Suu Kyi says peace talks will be priority

AFP, YANGON: Myanmar's Aung San Suu Kyi Monday said bringing peace to the country's strife-wracked ethnic regions will be a priority for her government when it takes power.
The veteran democracy champion's National League for Democracy (NLD) party swept landmark November polls that look set to curtail the military's decades-long chokehold on the country.
But under Myanmar's complicated junta-era political charter, her party is not expected to take power until February -- and Suu Kyi herself is banned from becoming president.
