The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)’s special envoy to Myanmar, Othman Hashim, visited Myanmar from Feb. 6-8 to meet with the junta leadership. His visit, however, was not covered by regime media – a significant departure from the junta’s usual practice of widely publicizing visits by foreign dignitaries for propaganda purposes.
Othman, a former secretary-general in Malaysia’s Foreign Ministry, was appointed as ASEAN’s envoy to Myanmar in January when Malaysia assumed the bloc’s rotating chair for 2025.
