Former Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi has spoken with her son, Kim Aris, for the first time in nearly six years, according to the information provided. She is reportedly being held at a residence in Myanmar’s capital.
The available account does not specify when the conversation took place, how it was arranged or how long it lasted. It also provides no details about what the two discussed or whether they communicated in person or by another method.
The report describes Suu Kyi as being held at a residence, but does not identify the residence or provide further information about the circumstances of her stay there. The identity of the source for that description was not provided.
No statements from Suu Kyi or Aris were included in the information available. It is therefore unclear whether either has publicly commented on the conversation, or whether additional contact between them is expected.
