Myanmar’s foreign minister told ASEAN counterparts that detained former leader Aung San Suu Kyi is in good health and will be cared for, according to ASEAN’s special envoy to Myanmar.
Background on Suu Kyi’s Detention
Suu Kyi, 81, has been detained since her elected government was ousted in a 2021 military coup. She is serving a 27-year sentence on charges that her allies say were fabricated to keep her out of politics.
ASEAN’s special envoy, Maria Theresa Lazaro, has been seeking access to Suu Kyi. The top diplomats of the 11-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations met with their Myanmar counterpart on Sunday for the first time since the coup.
