AI Summary:
Senior General Min Aung Hlaing has been shunned by much of the West for overthrowing the democratically elected government of Aung Saan Suu Kyi and subsequent brutal repression. He has not been allowed to participate in meetings of another regional organization, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, since the army seized power in February 2021. It was his first visit to a country other than his government’s main supporters and backers. The general’s visit drew condemnation and criticisms from his opponents. The shadow National Unity Government, or NUG, said it strongly condemed the inclusion of Min Aung Hlaing at the summit. It said he doesn’t have the legitimacy to represent Myanmar.
