BANGKOK: Myanmar's detained former leader Aung San Suu Kyi met with a representative of the International Committee of the Red Cross on Monday (Aug 3), a spokeswoman for the Myanmar government said, amid concerns over the health of the 81-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner. Aung San Suu Kyi has been in detention since February 2021 when an elected civilian government led by her was ousted by Myanmar's military in a dawn coup, plunging the impoverished Southeast Asian nation into turmoil. On Monday, Aung San Suu Kyi met with Arnaud de Baecque, Resident Representative of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to Myanmar in the capital Naypyitaw, government spokeswoman Khine Khine Soe said in a message via Telegram. The ICRC confirmed a delegate had met with Suu Kyi, without naming the official, while her son described the visit as the first positive development concerning his mother in more than five years. 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.
