00:00Myanmar seeks to rebuild its international relations, making renewed efforts to restore ties with ASEAN after several years of political
00:10isolation.
00:11The country's new president, Min Aulian, acknowledges that the government continues to face significant challenges in improving Myanmar's global reputation
00:19and diplomatic engagement.
00:22In his inauguration address, the former junta leader outlined plans to attract foreign investment and stimulate economic growth through long
00:30-term strategies aimed at strengthening the domestic economy.
00:34He said Myanmar was moving towards democracy but admitted that the government still had to overcome serious and ongoing difficulties
00:41to achieve that goal.
00:42Min Aulian had been elected president a week earlier, further consolidating his power following the 2021 military coup that had
00:51led to a withdrawal of foreign investors.
00:53The coup and the subsequent crackdown of protests prompted intervention from ASEAN, which later barred Myanmar's junta from attending its
01:01summits.
