Aung San Suu Kyi has been photographed for the first time in nearly four years, after Myanmar's military-backed government confirmed she met a representative of the International Committee of the Red Cross on Monday. The images, released by the Presidential Press and Information Bureau, show the 81-year-old Nobel laureate shaking hands with ICRC resident representative Arnaud de Baecque inside a sparsely furnished, wood-panelled room.

It marks her first confirmed meeting with anyone outside the government since her detention in 2021, and comes after her son Kim Aris launched an international campaign demanding proof that his mother was still alive.
