Following the sham election, the military junta’s international relations were marked by several key diplomatic engagements. On 18 February, an informal meeting was held between the junta’s Foreign Minister, U Than Swe, and his Thai counterpart in Phuket. During the talks, the Thai Foreign Minister emphasized Bangkok’s policy of revitalizing direct engagement between ASEAN and Myanmar in alignment with the Five-Point Consensus, while also discussing cross-border trade and energy cooperation.
