For too long the international community's attention has been focused narrowly on negative aspects related to problems in north Rakhine rather than on the larger picture that shows the immense potential of this state for peace and development.

I stand here to reaffirm our commitment to continue our reform and to build an investment-friendly environment, please do come to Myanmar, soak in an atmosphere brimming with opportunities and witness our new-found economic vibrancy with your own eyes.

The case has been held in open court, if anyone feels there has been a miscarriage of justice, I would like them to point it out.

I think there is a lot of hostility there -- it is Muslims killing Muslims as well, if they think they are cooperating with the authorities, it is not just a matter of ethnic cleansing, as you put it -- it is a matter of people on different sides of the divide, and this divide we are trying to close up.

It was just scrub and bushes when we moved here.

Thanks to the military parliamentarians for their cooperation and not going against us, i think our people will be happy about this too.

We chose T Khun Myat ... because the USDP is the second-largest party in the chamber. We went for someone from the USDP who is also an ethnic lawmaker. We want to include ethnic people because they represent the union.

I believe that the people elected by the parliament represent national reconciliation, when the NLD was facing difficulties, ethnic parties supported us ... we don't forget to be grateful to our allies.

The peace process is the first thing the new government will work on. We will try for the all inclusive ceasefire agreement, we can do nothing without peace in our country.

I make all the decisions because I'm the leader of the winning party. The president will be one whom we will choose just to meet the requirements of the constitution, he will have no authority. He will act in accordance with the decisions of the party.
