KUALA LUMPUR, 24 February, 2021 (TON): On Wednesday, the military-appointed FM Wunna Maung Lwin traveled to Thailand for talks.

It is reported that the Thai government said, as Myanmar's neighbors intensified efforts to resolve a crisis that began when its army seized power in a 1 February coup.

As opponents of the coup took to the streets again in Myanmar, the minister, Wunna Maung Lwin, arrived for talks on diplomatic efforts by the Association of southeast Asian Nations.

This week saw huge rallies and a general strike on Monday to denounce the coup and demand the release of elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi, despite a warning from authorities that confrontation could get people killed.

With the protest and a civil disobedience movement paralyzing life in Myanmar, Indonesia has been trying to find a way out. Indonesia has taken the lead in efforts to steer a path out of the crisis with the help of other Southeast Asian countries but its plans appeared to falter earlier on Wednesday with the scrapping of a proposed trip to Myanmar by its foreign minister.
