#India PM @narendramodi has met #Myanmar junta chief turned President Min Aung Hlaing in #NewDelhi, his 1st official overseas trip since he took post in April. Both share 1600km border where Myanmar civil clashes have spilled into India. Talks likely to focus on security & trade
@straits_times As journalists and editors, we urge you to show respect to the people of Myanmar and the truth.
Our leader, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, is not an 'ex-leader.' She is the democratically elected leader chosen by the will of the people.
@straits_times Journalism has a duty to uphold the truth. Referring to her as an 'ex-leader' while the military junta, led by Min Aung Hlaing, continues its brutal aerial bombings against civilians only serves to legitimize an illegal regime.
@straits_times Internationally and within the United Nations, she remains recognized as the State Counsellor, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the legitimate leader of Myanmar.
To the surprise of many, the #Philippines marked the start of its #ASEAN chairmanship this year by having its foreign secretary visit the 1 member nation that has divided & tested the regional bloc - #Myanmar. Is this a sign of a softening approach? https://t.co/RVNlyPRu3E
Let it go . . .
Civilians are risking their lives to save others, while the Junta blocks critical aid.
