Tibetan Spiritual head and Nobel laureate Dalai Lama has congratulated Aung San Suu Kyi for her party's remarkable victory in the general elections in Myanmar.
In his message, the Tibetan leader expressed hope that she will fulfill the aspirations of the people.
"It's a reflection of the people's confidence that you will be able to help them fulfill their hopes and aspirations," he said in his congratulatory letter.
"These elections are a historic milestone for Myanmar, there is immense goodwill and worldwide support for this flowering of democracy in Myanmar and I am confident that all the interested parties will make the most of this opportunity in a spirit of peace and reconciliation," he said.
The spiritual leader also reminded his fellow Nobel Peace Laureate that when the two of them had met earlier, they had discussed some of the problems Myanmar was facing, including the situation of the Muslims.
"As a fellow Buddhist, may I again alert you to the need to reach out to all sections of society," he said.
Dalai Lama wished her good health and strength in meeting the challenges that lie ahead in securing the development of Myanmar and the flourishing of its people.
