Myanmar attendance ‘uncertain’ at Bimstec Summit

Myanmar’s junta leader’s participation in the Bimstec (Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation) summit in Bangkok this week is uncertain following a 7.7-magnitude earthquake last week, according to host Thailand, according to Bangkok Post.

However, all leaders of the member countries are still expected to attend, a Thai foreign ministry spokesperson told a regular briefing on Tuesday, the report says

Junta chief Min Aung Hlaing could still attend remotely, the spokesman said. The devastating earthquake struck Myanmar on March 28, also causing major damage in Thailand.
