Aung San Suu Kyi
will not attend the ASEAN summit in Singapore this week, Myanmar State Councilor Aung San Suu Kyi said. A spokesman for the country's government said on Monday. He is not participating in the summit of Southeast Asian Nations for the first time since Suu Kyi came to power in 2016.
Today, the 32nd ASEAN conference will begin on Wednesday. The end will be the next Saturday. President Win Mint, who took oath last month, will represent Myanmar on Saturday, the last day of the conference. Presidential spokesman Joe Hathai said this. Although Suu Kyi, who is in charge of the State Councilor and Foreign Minister, will not participate in the ASEAN conference, the President's spokesperson said.
Myanmar has taken seven thousand Rohingya refugees from Bangladesh since August in response to the repression and repression of minority Rohingyas. Suu Kyi Criticism has increased in the international world because the Rohingya issue is not well tackled. That is why Suu Kyi is believed to not participate in the conference to avoid facing the Rohingya issue.
In the special ASEAN summit held in Sydney in Australia last month, pressure on Suu Kyi was applied to the Rohingya issue. Myanmar union government office minister Thaung Tun said last week, there is much more to handle the Suu Kyi in addition to the Rohingya issue.
