Min Aung Hlaing Seeks ASEAN Reconnection
Following the ASEAN ban on Myanmar's participation in summits due to the coup, Min Aung Hlaing is seeking to re-establish ties with the organization. Analysts and activists suggest recent elections and concessions are attempts to reshape his image. The ability of Aung San Suu Kyi to achieve true freedom depends on her ability to communicate with the public and for citizens to feel safe supporting her openly. The United Nations described the elections held at the beginning of the year as neither fair nor free. The country has been in a state of civil war since the military coup, resulting in thousands of deaths and millions of displaced persons. Reuters reports that Aung San Suu Kyi may reside in a property within a military boundary line. ASEAN continues to prohibit Myanmar from participating in summits due to the military coup.
