First publicised meeting between the Nobel Peace Prize laureate and a foreign official held since she was ousted in a military coup in February 2021.
Former Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi, overthrown and detained more than five years ago in a military coup that plunged the country into civil war, has been allowed to meet a representative of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) for the first time since she was deposed, after years of questions about the health and wellbeing of the 81-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner.
Suu Kyi met with Arnaud de Baecque, Myanmar resident representative of the ICRC, on Monday in the capital, Naypyitaw, a government spokesperson said.
