South Korea expressed hope Tuesday for improved ties with Myanmar, lauding its peaceful general elections over the weekend.
In a statement, the Foreign Ministry noted that the Sunday polls were staged in a "peaceful and orderly" manner with the active participation of local people.
It described the general elections as a "historic milestone" in the development of the nation's democracy.
"Our government expects the Myanmar government to continue reform, opening and national development on the basis of the historic results of the general elections," it said.
South Korea will also cooperate closely with Myanmar to promote bilateral relations, added the ministry.
The opposition National League for Democracy led by Aung San Suu Kyi scored a sweeping victory over the military-backed ruling party, according to early results. (Yonhap)
