Ban Ki-moon congratulated the NLD and its leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, and praised the conduct of all parties and the "uniquely important" concession of army forces to the outcome.
Pia amesema amesikitishwa kwamba Suu Kyi hakuachiliwa kabla ya uchaguzi mkuu kama ilivyokuwa imetakiwa na Katibu Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa na wengine wengi wakiwemo wajumbe wa ASEAN.
