Once a darling of the international community, Aung Naing Oo, a former official in Aung San Suu Kyi's government, now speaks the junta’s language
Once a darling of the international community, Mr Aung Naing Oo, an ex-military officer, now speaks the junta’s language. He recently told Reuters that foreign executives of Telenor, a Norwegian telecoms firm, had been barred from leaving the country because of the regime’s need to meet them in person. Myanmar’s current economic crisis, he argued, was caused in part by “sabotage” backed by foreign states.
There are more petty reasons, too. Several ministers hold grudges against the junta’s arch-rival, Ms Suu Kyi. In 2019 she reassigned Mr Aung Naing Oo from the government’s investment agency, which he ran, to the investment ministry, making him permanent secretary. This was widely regarded as a demotion—though apparently not by Mr Aung Naing Oo, who says that it was a promotion and that he bears no ill will towards Ms Suu Kyi.
