    Your relentless struggle for democracy over the years through peaceful means and sacrifice has given you and your party this landslide victory. The strong mandate given by the people of Myanmar is a testimony of the deep faith and confidence they have placed in your inspiring leadership, to guide Myanmar to greater prosperity.
