Myanmar's detained democratic leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, met with the nation's Red Cross representative on Monday, marking her first publicized meeting with a foreign official since her ouster in a 2021 military coup. The president's office released photos showing Suu Kyi shaking hands with Arnaud de Baecque and cutting a birthday cake. The military deposed Suu Kyi in February 2021, leading to her imprisonment and a civil war that has resulted in over 100,000 deaths. The coup leader, Min Aung Hlaing, was installed as civilian president in April following restricted elections.
