Myanmar's detained former leader Aung San Suu Kyi met with a representative of the International Committee of the Red Cross on Monday, marking one of the only publicly confirmed contacts between the 81-year-old Nobel laureate and an outside party since the military ousted her government in February 2021.
The meeting, held in the capital Naypyitaw with ICRC resident representative Arnaud de Baecque, was announced by Myanmar's military-backed government, which released four photographs of the encounter.
What do we know about the meeting?
Two images show Suu Kyi shaking hands with and meeting de Baecque in a sparsely furnished room. The government did not disclose further details of what was discussed.
