Given her pivotal role in Myanmar\u2019s politics over the past 35 years or so, this idea warrants closer inspection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The claim seems to have been prompted in part by the visit to Myanmar in April of the outgoing Thai Foreign Minister, Don Pramudwinai, who was&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/asia.nikkei.com\/Spotlight\/Myanmar-Crisis\/Thai-foreign-minister-says-he-met-with-Myanmar-s-Suu-Kyi\">granted an interview<\/a>&nbsp;with Aung San Suu Kyi. He later said that she was in favour of a \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.voanews.com\/a\/myanmar-s-pro-democracy-camp-faults-secret-meeting-with-aung-san-suu-kyi-\/7181595.html\">dialogue without preconditions<\/a>\u201d aimed at achieving a negotiated solution to Myanmar\u2019s crisis. This option has long been&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.voanews.com\/a\/un-envoy-sees-no-prospect-for-political-settlement-in-myanmar-\/7008808.html\">rejected<\/a>&nbsp;by both the junta and the shadow National Unity Government (NUG).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019s visit has been criticised by the NUG and other opposition groups as a stunt designed to strengthen Bangkok\u2019s ties to Myanmar\u2019s military regime and to justify the outgoing Thai government\u2019s much criticised attempt at two-track diplomacy, outside formal meetings of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. It has also been seen as a way of putting pressure on Indonesia, as ASEAN\u2019s current chair, to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irrawaddy.com\/opinion\/commentary\/myanmar-regime-up-to-its-old-tricks-playing-the-suu-kyi-card.html\">modify its tough stance<\/a>&nbsp;against the junta, which has brushed aside ASEAN\u2019s Five-Point Consensus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please click here to read the full &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lowyinstitute.org\/the-interpreter\/has-history-left-aung-san-suu-kyi-behind\">Has history left AungSan Suu Kyi behind?<\/a>&#8221; article published at The Interpreter, written by Griffith Asia Institute Adjunct Professor Andrew Selth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ANDREW SELTH\u00a0 | It has been suggested recently that Myanmar\u2019s imprisoned State Counsellor, Aung San Suu Kyi, has been left behind by history and is&nbsp;no longer relevant&nbsp;to the outcome of the civil war that has been raging around the country since the 2021 military coup.
