hailand's foreign minister said on Wednesday he met with ousted Myanmar democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi last week and she was in good health in her first known meeting with a foreign envoy since she was detained following a 2021 coup.
Suu Kyi has been seen only once since she was held after the Feb. 1, 2021 putsch – in grainy state media photos from a bare courtroom in the military-built capital Naypyidaw.
"There was a meeting, she was in good health and it was a good meeting," Don Pramudwinai told reporters on the sidelines of a meeting of the ASEAN Foreign Ministers Meeting (AMM) in Jakarta.
The coup that overthrew Suu Kyi ended Myanmar's brief democratic experiment and plunged the Southeast Asian nation into bloody turmoil.
The Nobel laureate, 78, was later hit with a raft of charges and jailed by a junta court for a total of 33 years in trials that rights groups slammed as a sham.
Don confirmed that he met with Suu Kyi on Sunday and that she had called for renewed talks to end the crisis.
"She encouraged dialogue," Don said.
