Aung San Suu Kyi has emerged from seven years under house arrest and called for national reconciliation and unity, and emphasised that she alone cannot lead Burma to democracy after 50 years of military rule.
Speaking at length publicly for the first time since she was jailed in 2003, Burma's champion of democracy also said she wanted to "speak directly and honestly" with the generals who jailed her so they could work for the betterment of the country.
"I think we all have to work together. We will have to find a way of helping each other." She called for the release of the more than 2,100 political prisoners still being held by the regime.
