The commander-in-chief of Myanmar’s armed forces arrived yesterday in Bangkok on an official visit aimed at expanding security cooperation between the two neighbors, two weeks after his predecessor, Min Aung Hlaing. The three-day visit by Ye Win Oo, Myanmar’s former spy chief, is the first that he has made since being appointed as military chief on March 30, and the latest in a string of diplomatic engagements between Bangkok and Naypyidaw. Ye Win Oo will attend a high-level meeting with Ukrit Boontanon, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Thai Armed Forces, and other high-ranking Thai military officers, the state-run Global New Light of Myanmar reported yesterday. These talks will focus “on matters related to bilateral relations and cooperation,” it added. The visit comes after Thailand hosted Ye Win Oo’s predecessor and mentor Min Aung Hlaing, who stepped down as military chief before being anointed president in April. Min Aung Hlaing held talks with Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, who affirmed Thailand’s support for the normalization of Myanmar’s relations with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), which has been in a state of suspended animation since shortly after the 2021 coup. In a joint statement, Bangkok “reaffirmed its commitment to supporting and continuing to work closely with Myanmar for Myanmar’s full and equal participation in ASEAN mechanisms and processes.” Myanmar in turn “expressed its appreciation for Thailand’s constructive role in facilitating the normalization of its relations with ASEAN.” All of this is part of Bangkok’s policy of “calibrated engagement” with Myanmar’s military-appointed government, which contends that the best way to manage the country’s conflicts is by bringing the country back into the “ASEAN family,” as Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow has put it. Since late 2021, ASEAN has excluded Myanmar from its summits due to its refusal to implement the Five-Point Consensus, ASEAN’s plan for managing the country’s post-coup civil war. Agreed in April 2021, the Consensus called for an immediate cessation of violence, access to humanitarian aid, and political dialogue involving “all parties” to the country’s conflict. The policy has come in for some harsh criticism in recent months. In a statement earlier this week, the Special Advisory Council on Myanmar (SAC-M) said that Thailand’s policy had “shattered any vestige of a common ASEAN position on Myanmar” without extracting any concessions of note in return. Indeed, Naypyidaw has grown more defiant toward ASEAN in recent months, openly rejecting the Five-Point Consensus and accusing unnamed member states of breaching the bloc’s principle of non-interference. “Thailand’s Prime Minister lacks basic knowledge and any sense of purpose on Myanmar, and Thailand’s Foreign Minister has completely sold out his fellow ASEAN Foreign Ministers,” Thai Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya said in the statement. “The consequences for Thailand, ASEAN and most particularly the Myanmar people are dire.” Engaging with Ye Win Oo is likely to be seen by critics as especially troubling. According to The Irrawaddy, Ye Win Oo is a close associate of Min Aung Hlaing who led the arrests of President Win Myint and de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi during the 2021 coup, for which he was sanctioned by the U.S. government. He has since served as Min Aung Hlaing’s “eyes and ears,” and was deemed loyal enough to succeed him as commander in chief of the Myanmar military – the true backstop of Min Aung Hlaing’s authority. According to SAC-M, Ye Win Oo is “responsible for directing the torture, rape, and killing of political prisoners among other alleged atrocities.” Thailand’s decision to host him, it added, will only add to the country’s “ignominy.”
