France wishes Myanmar president success

Jean-Marc Ayrault, France's Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Development, welcomed the election of the new president of Myanmar.

"It wishes him every success as he undertakes the exceptionally important duties entrusted to him by the Burmese Parliament," he said in a statement. 
It added that the election of Htin Kyaw marks the continuation of the country’s transition, after Aung San Suu Kyi and her party, the National League for Democracy, won a landslide victory in the parliamentary elections, symbolising the people’s high expectations.
