Suu Kyi is being pilloried by diplomats and human rights activists after a judge in Myanmar sentenced two Reuters journalists to jail for seven years. 

The military acknowledged that security forces and villagers were responsible for the deaths of 10 people found in a mass grave in December.

Bob Rae, Canada's special envoy for the Rohingya crisis, said the two leaders didn't immediately agree with each other.

The 70-year-old Htin Kyaw will take office April 1 to become Myanmar's first democratically elected leader after more than half a century of military rule.
