Aung San Suu Kyi meets Red Cross official, military-backed government says, after proof of life campaign

Myanmar's detained former leader Aung San Suu Kyi met with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) representative in a meeting described by the military-backed government as her first public interaction with a foreign official in years. The encounter follows growing international concern over her health and a campaign by her son demanding proof of her survival. The meeting took place in Naypyidaw, with photographs released by the military authorities showing Suu Kyi in traditional attire, smiling and shaking hands with the ICRC official. Her detention since the 2021 coup has remained shrouded in secrecy, despite ongoing conflict and humanitarian crises in the country. The timing coincides with high-level diplomatic engagements involving Thailand and international calls for greater transparency regarding her status.
