YANGON, Dec. 24 (Xinhua) -- The peace process in Myanmar is expected to move forward in 2021 after the general elections held in November this year gave the ruling National League for Democracy (NLD) party a new mandate to rule the country.
The quinquennial general elections were held across Myanmar on Nov. 8 and the ruling NLD secured more than enough parliamentary seats needed for its next five-year term.
This year's multi-party general elections were the third of its kind held in accordance with Constitution. The next parliamentary session is scheduled to open in the first week of February 2021.
