Myanmar's new president, U Win Myint, has been sworn into office just now. The ceremony was followed by a speech by the new president. U Win Myint, former speaker of the House of Representatives, won Wednesday's election, becoming the country's 10th president since 1948 when it regained independence. The presidential run was hosted by the Union Parliament to fill the vacancy left by U Htin Kyaw, who announced his resignation last week, citing health reasons. The new first vice president, U Myint Swe, and second vice president, U Henry Van Thio, also took the oath of office at the swearing-in ceremony.
