Home ministry officials met the country’s former leader on Monday to deliver the parcel containing two books about soil and sealed diplomatic correspondence from the British monarch, Myanmar’s presidential spokeswoman said on her Facebook page. Britain is Myanmar’s former colonial power and King Charles is known to have a keen interest in gardening and the environment.
Accompanying the statement were two images of Suu Kyi meeting two men with their backs to the camera. The pictures appeared to be in a similar room to the last released images of her, when she met a Red Cross representative in August, her first publicised meeting with a foreign official since she was ousted more than five years ago.
