Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday telephoned Myanmar's democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi to congratulate her on the electoral victory, an official said. Modi also invited her to India.
"Diplomacy aboard Air India 1! PM called Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, congratulated her on her electoral victory and invited her to visit India," Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Vikas Swarup tweeted.
Modi made the call on his way to Britain for a three-day visit.
Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy has so far secured 536 parliamentary seats in the country's general election.
