Ban Ki-moon's Surprise Visit to Myanmar and Meeting with Junta Chief.
TL;DR Summary
Former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon made a surprise visit to Myanmar on behalf of The Elders, a group of elder statesmen that engages in peacemaking and human rights initiatives around the world. Ban met with top leader Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing and former President Thein Sein, but did not meet with Aung San Suu Kyi, who has been imprisoned since her elected government was ousted by the army in February 2021. The visit appeared certain to have focused on Myanmar’s ongoing political crisis.
