Thai politicians initiate seminar on Myanmar despite junta's objections
Thai politicians, led by the Move Forward Party member Rangsiman Rome, organized a seminar on Myanmar's political turmoil, aiming to foster dialogue. The event included speakers from Myanmar's shadow National Unity Government and ethnic armed organisations, but Myanmar's government and military opted out. The seminar diverges from Thailand's official stance and aims to expand space for pro-democracy voices. In related news, Myanmar's military regime sentenced three high-ranking officers to death for overseeing the handover of a crucial town on the Chinese border.
