Min Aung Hlaing has sought to reassure his Thai hosts that he's steering Myanmar towards democracy. At the meeting with Anutin, Min Aung Hlaing sought to reassure Thailand that his government was restoring stability and steering Myanmar towards democracy. "Myanmar has now re-established itself on the path to democracy and is moving toward a better future," Min Aung Hlaing said on Thursday. Min Aung Hlaing took a significant step towards would-be political rehabilitation in April when he was sworn in as president following an election held in phases in December and January. Western governments have shunned and sanctioned Min Aung Hlaing and his associates for overthrowing Suu Kyi's government.
