About
Min Aung Hlaing is the leader of Myanmar's military-backed government, which seized power in 2021. He was elected as president earlier this month after a sham election. Recently, he announced an amnesty for thousands of prisoners, including former president Win Myint and Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, and invited opposition armed groups to peace talks. However, two key rebel groups rejected the offer. The move has been seen as a sign of the regime's growing bolder and less merciful nature. As president, Min Aung Hlaing seeks to 'enhance' international relations and ties with ASEAN after the coup plunged Myanmar into chaos. He has also faced criticism for his role in human rights abuses and genocide allegations against him.
