Myanmar Military Ruler Promises Elections, Says Ready to Work With ASEAN

BANGKOK - Myanmar's military ruler Min Aung Hlaing on Sunday promised new mult-party elections and said his government is ready to work with any special envoy named by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.

He spoke in a televised address six months after the army seized power from a civilian government after disputed elections won by Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi's ruling party, which he described as "terrorists.”
