Thai PM says Myanmar regime ‘losing strength’

Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin told Reuters that now is a good time to open talks with Myanmar as the military regime that seized power in a 2021 coup is weakening. Myanmar is in the throes of an insurgency on multiple fronts, where allied anti-junta groups backed by a pro-democracy parallel government have seized control of several military posts and towns, including partially a key border town on the border with Thailand over the weekend. It is the biggest challenge the Myanmar junta has faced since it mounted a coup against an elected government in 2021.
