YANGON (Reuters) - Myanmar's new cabinet will include members of other political parties and representatives of ethnic minorities, the leader of the National League for Democracy (NLD) Aung San Suu Kyi said on Thursday, stressing the need for national reconciliation.

The NLD won a majority in both houses of Myanmar's parliament and also faired better than expected against ethnic political parties in regional legislatures.
