PoliticsMyanmar’s former military chief Min Aung Hlaing to visit Thailand as civilian leader

Myanmar’s former military chief Min Aung Hlaing is preparing for another foreign trip, this time to Thailand in his role as the country’s civilian leader. Thailand has played a central part in ASEAN’s efforts to re-engage with Myanmar. ASEAN members have reiterated that the Five-Point Consensus remains the bloc’s main framework for addressing the crisis. Myanmar’s military-appointed parliament, however, has voted to reject that consensus.
