Myanmar’s former military ruler sees erstwhile foe Aung San Suu Kyi as the country’s “future leader” and has pledged support for her in a secret meeting, the general’s grandson said.
Details of Friday’s meeting between the two was revealed by General Than Shwe’s grandson, who acted as intermediary.
He said in a Facebook post the meeting had lasted two-and-a-half hours.
Ms Suu Kyi led her National League for Democracy (NLD) party to a landslide election victory in November.
