Myanmar refuses to allow Sokhonn to meet Aung San Suu Kyi

Sokhonn meeting with SAC chairman Senior General Min Aung Hlaing to discuss Myanmar’s progress in implementing the Asean Five-Point Consensus (5PC) on June 30.

PHNOM PENH (The Phnom Penh Post/Asia News Network): Foreign minister and Asean special envoy on Myanmar Prak Sokhonn was unable to meet with former civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi due to unspecified “judicial procedures” cited by the ruling State Administration Council (SAC).

On a positive note, the Myanmar Task Force on Asean Humanitarian Assistance strongly welcomed Prime Minister Hun Sen’s willingness to dispatch vaccination teams to the crisis-hit country to administer Covid-19 vaccines to its population.
