The United States holds a second round of talks with Myanmar’s military-backed ruling authorities in Tokyo, according to multiple sources. The meetings take place less than a month after an earlier round, with outlets reporting that details of the specific diplomatic exchanges are not publicly disclosed.
The discussions are described as part of a broader U.S. move to re-engage with the generals it largely shunned after the February 2021 coup. One report says earlier talks, held in Myanmar’s capital Naypyitaw in mid-September, focus on securing the release of an American businessman, suggesting the agenda may include specific consular and detainee-related issues.
Across the coverage, the main points of agreement are the location (Tokyo), the timing (a second meeting within about a month), and the fact that participants keep the content of the talks largely out of public view. The reports frame the renewed engagement as a significant shift in post-coup U.S. policy, though they do not specify the outcomes of the latest discussions.
