Myanmar junta chief Min Aung Hlaing will attend an Association of Southeast Asian Nations summit in Indonesia on Apr 24, a Thai foreign ministry spokesman said on Saturday , for his first known foreign trip since he staged a Feb 1 coup.

Several leaders of the 10-member ASEAN, of which Myanmar is a member, had confirmed their attendance at the meeting in the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, including Min Aung Hlaing, the Thai spokesman, Tanee Sangrat, said.

Saturday is the first day of the traditional New Year in Myanmar and the last day of a five-day holiday that is usually celebrated with visits to Buddhist temples and rowdy water throwing and partying in the streets. "These detainees are mostly from before Feb 1 but there are also some who were imprisoned after," Prisons Department spokesman Kyaw Tun Oo told Reuters by telephone.

A crowd waves to people onboard a bus that drove out of Insein prison in Yangon, Myanmar on Apr 17, 2021. "We pledge to continue working with all ethnic peoples to overthrow the military dictatorship and establish a new federal democracy," he said.
