Myanmar crisis hits 'fatigue' level

Nearly three and a half years since the military coup in February 2021, the crisis in Myanmar shows no signs of resolution. the Tatmadaw, as Myanmar's military is known, has gradually lost control of territory, especially in areas bordering China, Thailand and India. However, the resignation of former deputy prime minister and foreign minister, Parnpree Bahiddha-Nukara in May caused a hiccup in Thailand's efforts to advance the aid plans. The new UN special envoy on Myanmar, Julie Bishop, has been travelling throughout Asean to learn firsthand about the situation in Myanmar. On the sidelines of the retreat, foreign ministers from Thailand, India and Myanmar also held a meeting to discuss their mutual concerns.
