Aung San Suu Kyi Nominated as Minister in Myanmar’s Government
By WAI MOE and AUSTIN RAMZY

NAYPYIDAW, Myanmar — Daw Aung San Suu Kyi will be a minister in Myanmar’s new government, according to a list of nominees for cabinet positions released on Tuesday by the country’s president-elect, U Htin Kyaw.

The move ensures that Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi, a Nobel Peace laureate whose National League for Democracy party won a landslide victory in November elections, will officially hold a high-ranking position despite being barred from the presidency. The party had already said that Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi, its leader and Myanmar’s most popular politician by far, would give orders to the president regardless of her title.

Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi’s specific post was not announced on Tuesday and may not be known for days. Analysts had suggested that she might take the role of foreign minister, which would enable her to sit on the powerful National Defense and Security Council. She could also hold more than one post; one leaked document said that in addition to the foreign affairs ministry, her portfolio would include the ministries of education, energy and the presidential office.

Despite her party’s victory in the landmark election last year, Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi cannot serve as president because of a clause in the country’s military-drafted Constitution, which bars anyone with foreign relatives from holding the post. Her two sons have British citizenship, and the clause is believed to have been written specifically to prevent her from becoming president.

Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi said last year that she would be “above” the president. Her close ally, Mr. Htin Kyaw, was elected president by Parliament last week.

打破不入閣傳言 翁山蘇姬將任緬甸外長

緬甸執政黨全國民主聯盟（NLD）廿二日在國會發布十五位內閣部長提名人選，黨魁翁山蘇姬列名其中，打破她不入閣準備以黨領政的傳言。NLD發言人稍晚表示，翁山蘇姬主要將擔任外長，也可能兼任其他職位。如果有合適人選，翁山蘇姬可指派職位。

緬甸內閣共有十八個部長職給文人政府，NLD提出十五人名單，讓外界揣測翁山蘇姬可能兼職。除了外長，教育、能源和總統府秘書長都有可能。緬甸國會預計廿四日討論名單，分派職位。原先執政的「鞏固與發展黨」也有兩人在名單上，符合翁山蘇姬「全國大和解」的競選承諾。

翁山蘇姬受制於軍方起草的憲法，無法當總統，但她的親信碇喬先當選總統，而她曾誓言凌駕總統，統治緬甸。

觀察家認為，翁山蘇姬出任外長，可讓她在內閣有正式的職位之餘，還有國際影響力，且能進入緬甸具有影響力的安全委員會。

國防、內政與邊政部長人選也在廿二日揭曉，憲法規定三個部會保留給軍方，分別由三名中將出任。
