Foreign Secretary meeting military leader was first such official outreach by India to Myanmar regime since it overthrew NUG in a coup on Feb. 1
A day after met Myanmar’s military leader General Min Aung Hlaing, differences emerged in the way both sides portrayed the visit, with on the restoration of democracy, as a discussion on “voting fraud in 2020 elections”, and describing groups allied to the former “National Unity Government (NUG) as “terrorists”.
The meeting between the two was the first such since it overthrew the NUG in a coup on February 1, making Mr. Shringla one of very few international officials to have met Gen. Min Aung Hlaing, who heads the “State Administration Council” (SAC) government and has declared himself the “Prime Minister”.
