Aung San Suu Kyi Meets Incoming and Outgoing Presidents

Burmese democratic movement leader Aung San Suu Kyi spent her first full day in Seoul on Tuesday sitting down separately with incumbent President Lee Myung-bak and President-elect Park Geun-hye.

The Nobel Peace Prize winner began her first-ever visit to Korea on Monday. She also attended the opening ceremony of the 2013 Special Olympics in Pyeongchang as part of her five-day trip.

A presidential spokesperson said Lee and Suu Kyi talked about working together in the areas of education and economic development.

President-elect Park agreed to cooperate with her in trying to spread democracy and prosperity throughout the world.
