London: Britain said it is willing to offer shelter to Myanmar’s ambassador to London after he was ousted from his embassy by pro-junta diplomats.
Kyaw Zwar Minn met on Thursday with Nigel Adams, Britain’s Foreign Office minister for Asia, after his hosts said they could no longer recognise him as ambassador in line with the junta’s decision to terminate his posting.
“I pay tribute to his courage and patriotism. We will support him to ensure his safety and security in the United Kingdom,” Adams said in a tweet above a picture of the two men looking somber at their meeting.
