Myanmar: Promise of elections by the head of the military regime

The head of the military regime in Myanmar, Min Aung Hlaing, promised new multiparty elections again and assured that his government is ready to work with a special envoy to be appointed by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

Hlaing made the televised speech six months after the military seized power, overthrowing the democratically elected government following an election in which the military claimed it had been rigged. Aung San Suu Kyi’s ruling party won by a wide margin.

“Myanmar is ready to work with ASEAN, within the framework of ASEAN, including the dialogue with the ASEAN Special Envoy to Myanmar,” said Min Aung Hlaing.

The ASEAN foreign ministers are meeting tomorrow, Monday, with the aim, according to diplomats, of appointing a special envoy to be called in to help end the violence and promote dialogue between the military junta and its opponents.
