Myanmar's Junta Chief Sets Out Aggressive Agenda Amid ASEAN Criticism Min Aung Hlaing, the junta chief turned president of Myanmar, has criticized the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) for what he sees as a peace plan that discriminates against his country.
This criticism comes as his administration rolls out an ambitious agenda to rebuild and reassert military control over Myanmar.
The February 2021 coup led by Min Aung Hlaing ousted an elected government, resulting in civil war that has left over 100,000 dead and millions displaced.
