缅甸国家管理委员会领导人敏昂莱本周对泰国进行国事访问，获得红地毯礼遇和官方热烈欢迎 [1]。这次访问标志着自2021年以来长期被国际孤立的缅甸军方正在寻求地区外交突破。敏昂莱于今年4月从将军头衔改为总统，通过排斥有意义反对派的虚假选举获得权力 [1]。在此之前，他已访问了中国、印度和老挝 [1]。
泰国政府此举违背了东盟五点共识协议要求缅甸停止暴力的条件 [1]。自2021年五点共识签署以来，缅甸内战已导致约10万人丧生，其中包括军方对平民地区的空袭，涉及学校、医院和宗教场所 [1]。泰国总理阿努廷将这一政策称为"精准重新接触" [1]。值得注意的是，泰缅联合声明未提及停止针对平民的暴力 [1]。缅甸在访问前发布了昂山素季在红十字国际委员会代表陪同下的近期照片 [1]。该举措已引发人权倡导者和亲民主力量的强烈批评。
Myanmar's military leader Min Aung Hlaing visited Thailand this week, receiving a state visit reception and official warm welcome that signals the junta's attempt to break through years of international ostracism following the 2021 coup.[1] Min Aung Hlaing transitioned from his military title to president in April through elections that excluded meaningful opposition.[1] The visit represents the latest stop on a regional tour that has also included China, India, and Laos.[1]
Thailand's reception of the Myanmar leader contradicts the ASEAN Five-Point Consensus agreement, which had conditioned engagement on Myanmar halting violence.[1] Thai Prime Minister Anutin characterized the approach as "precision re-engagement."[1] The move has drawn sharp criticism from human rights advocates and pro-democracy forces, particularly given the scale of the ongoing conflict.[1] Since the Five-Point Consensus was signed in 2021, Myanmar's internal warfare has claimed approximately 100,000 lives, with military operations including airstrikes on civilian areas such as schools, hospitals, and religious sites.[1] A joint Thai-Myanmar statement issued following the visit made no mention of halting violence against civilians.[1] Prior to the visit, Myanmar released recent photographs of Aung San Suu Kyi accompanied by a representative from the International Committee of the Red Cross.[1]
