Following a landslide win for Aung
San Suu Kyi’s NLD party in Myanmar’s historic November 8 election, what happens
next? What are the key public policy issues for the NLD? How will Aung San Suu
Kyi and the military that kept her under house arrest for years co-exist? What
are the country’s economic and political prospects? Will the new government
continue to welcome foreign investors?
Myanmar expert Gwen Robinson, senior fellow at the Institute of Security and
International Studies at Chulalongkorn University, and BBC Southeast Asia
Correspondent Jonathan Head, in joining country experts from the Vriens &
Partners Myanmar office will answer these and other questions during a special
roundtable discussion.
