缅甸民主运动领袖昂山素季首次参加议会议事。

星期一，诺贝尔和平奖得主昂山素季首次在缅甸行政首都内比都的会议下院就座议事。昂山素季在缅甸议会的出现标志着她多年争取在缅甸实现民主的斗争进入了一个新阶段。

昂山素季与缅甸全国民主联盟的其他议员一道出席议会会议。目前，缅甸军方及其政治盟友仍在缅甸议会占据主导地位。

在举行具有里程碑意义的缅甸4月选举以及新政府采取一系列改革措施之后，全民主联已经成为缅甸的一个主流政党。

Burmese opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi has made her historic debut in parliament.

The Nobel Peace Prize winner took her seat in Burma's lower house of parliament for the first time Monday in the administrative capital, Naypyidaw.  Aung San Suu Kyi's presence marks a new phase in her long struggle to bring democracy to her homeland.

She joined fellow members of the National League for Democracy party in parliament, along with other legislators.  Parliament is still dominated by the military and its political allies.  

NLD, once dissident outsiders, is now a mainstream political party, following Burma's landmark April elections and other sweeping changes by the new government.
