Prime Minister Narendra Modi meets Nobel Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi on the sidelines of the ASEAN and East Asian summits. This is his first interaction with the pro-democracy leader.

Myanmar is in the midst of a national debate on whether to allow Suu Kyi, an opposition leader, to contest the 2015 parliamentary elections, which she is barred from at present, due to a provision in the Constitution. Suu Kyi had visited India in November 2012.
