WREST to meet Suu Kyi at WEF in Bangkok

BANGKOK, May 28 (TNA) - The Women's Network Reshaping Thailand (WREST) has planned to meet Nobel Peace laureate Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, the pro-democracy opposition leader in Myanmar, while attending the forthcoming World Economic Forum (WEF) in Bangkok. Speaking on behalf of WREST members, WREST Coordinator, Dr. Suthada Mekrungruangkul, confirmed Monday that the WREST has planned to congratulate Suu Kyi, who won by a landslide in Myanmar’s latest by-election last month. Dr. Suthada said that her network would seek to meet Suu Kyi by arranging with Myanmar's main opposition National League for Democracy (NLD) Party headquarters, insisting if failed, WREST members would, otherwise, try to meet the Myanmar pro-democracy icon at the venue of the 21st WEF on East Asia, set to be held in Bangkok’s Shangri-La Hotel from May 30-June 1, 2012.
