Abstract.A finite group $G$ is called $(l,m,n)$-generated, if it is a quotient group of the triangle group $T(l,m,n) = \langle x,y,z \vert x^l = y^m = z^n = xyz = 1 \rangle$.

In [#!moor1!#], the question of finding all triples $(p,q,r)$ such that non-abelian finite simple group $G$ is $(p,q,r)-$generated was posed. In this paper we answer this question for the Suzuki group $\suz$.
