In Myanmar, where the turmoil continues after the coup d'etat, a special envoy of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, who acts as an intermediary between the military and democratic forces, visited the site for the first time on the 21st and met with the top of the Myanmar military.


The special envoy is expected to meet with the pro-democracy side, and it is being watched whether it will lead to a breakthrough.

Cambodia's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Prak Sokong, who is the special envoy of ASEAN, entered Myanmar on the morning of the 21st for the first time as a special envoy and met with Myanmar's top commander Min Aung Hlaing in the capital Naypyidaw.



According to the announcement of the "National Governance Council" established by the military after the coup d'etat, the commander reiterated the legitimacy of the coup d'etat by explaining that there was fraud in the general election and the military was in charge of governance. It seems that he insisted.



He also emphasized that the responsibility for the turmoil lies with the pro-democracy, as he explained that the forces resisting military rule were violent and destroying government facilities and schools.



Since the coup d'etat in Myanmar, the conflict between the military and the pro-democracy has continued, and it is being watched whether the dispatch of special envoys by ASEAN will lead to a breakthrough in the stalemate.



Special Envoy Prak Sokong will stay in Myanmar until the 23rd, and local media reports that the special envoy will also meet with pro-democracy forces.
