Myanmar's detained former leader Aung San Suu Kyi has met with a representative of the International Committee of the Red Cross, after years of questions over the health and well-being of the 81-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner.
On Monday, Suu Kyi met with Arnaud de Baecque, Resident Representative of the International Committee of the Red Cross to Myanmar in the capital Naypyitaw, government spokesperson Khine Khine Soe said in a message via Telegram.
In one of four photographs provided by the Myanmar government spokesperson, Suu Kyi is seen dressed in traditional Burmese attire and standing unaided, shaking hands with Baecque.
"This included the opportunity to speak with Daw Aung San Suu Kyi in private," it said in a statement, using a Burmese honorific.
In another released photo, offering a rare glimpse inside what appears to be her residence, Suu Kyi is seen cutting a birthday cake inscribed with her name, with a clothes rack and storage boxes visible in the background.
