“Detained Myanmar leader Suu Kyi has first foreign visitor in five years “
Detained Myanmar former leader Aung San Suu Kyi has received her first foreign visitor in more than five years: Arnaud de Baecque, Myanmar resident representative of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), in Naypyidaw. The 3 August 2026 meeting marks the first publicised contact with a foreign official since she was ousted in the February 2021 military coup. The ICRC confirmed it followed standard procedures, including private conversation. Her son Kim Aris called it a positive first step, seeking further access, verified health updates, and release for all political prisoners.
