Myanmar's Parliament Approves Suu Kyi for Cabinet Position

Myanmar’s parliament approved Aung San Suu Kyi and 17 other nominees to take positions in the incoming government’s cabinet, though what ministries they will head has yet to be announced.

There were no objections in Thursday’s parliament session to the names put forward by President-elect Htin Kyaw. There was no confirmation of local media reports that Suu Kyi will take leadership of four ministries: foreign affairs, the president’s office, energy and education.
