Yangon - Aung San Suu Kyi's opposition party says it plans to hold its first national conference next month in the latest sign of its mainstream role after decades of repression under Myanmar's former junta.
"We have been trying to convene such a nationwide conference for more than 20 years," Ohn Kyaing, a spokesman for the National League for Democracy (NLD), told AFP on Monday.
The meeting, which will define the leadership of the party as it sets its sights on crucial 2015 polls, is scheduled for the last week of February, he said.
