Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, whether the Minister of State for Asia and the Pacific (a) requested and (b) held a one-to-one meeting with Aung San Suu Kyi during his visit to Burma in November 2017.
Embassy officials explored the possibility of a one-on-one meeting with Daw Aung San Suu Kyi during the ASEM Conference on 20-21 November 2017 but this was not possible. However, the ​Minister of State addressed her directly in his ASEM speeches, and held meetings with senior Burmese ministers, including the Minister of Defence U Sein Win, the State Counsellor’s Chief of Staff U Kyaw Tin Swe and the Deputy Foreign Minister U Kyaw Tin.
