At a meeting of Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in Jakarta, Indonesia on Tuesday, Thai Foreign Affairs Minister Don Pramudwinai told his counterparts that he recently met with Myanmar’s detained leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, in prison, as reported by Japanese media outlet Kyodo News.

According to the report, Don Pramudwinai had the meeting with Suu Kyi on Sunday, and said he might read out “a message from Suu Kyi” on Wednesday, the second day of the ASEAN ministerial meeting.
