Myanmar democracy campaigner Aung San Suu Kyi marked the 66th anniversary of the founding of the country's resistance movement against Japan Sunday with an appeal for better relations with Myanmar's military leadership. Speaking at a ceremony attended by about 200 supporters, press and Yangon-based diplomats, Suu Kyi said she hoped to work with the new nominally civilian government which is to be installed by the end of March.

Burmese democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi will follow in the footsteps of international dignitaries such as Hillary Clinton and Melinda Gates next week when she is honoured with the prestigious Global Trailblazer Award.  The honour comes as part of the Global Leadership Awards given annually by the US-based women’s empowerment group, Vital Voices.
