"I never think of them as those people who placed me under house arrest for so many years. This is not the way we bring about national reconciliation," she said. "I think of them as people with whom I would like to work in order to bring reform to our country," she added. Suu Kyi also stressed that she wants 'democracy-friendly, human rights-friendly' investments that protect the environment of her country.
