Suu Kyi’s visit to Dutch parliament cancelled

The civilian leader of Myanmar, Aung San Suu Kyi, has cancelled her planned visit to the Tweede Kamer (Dutch Parliament) on Friday, reports Netherland Times.

The meeting between her and the foreign affairs committee had to be cancelled due to ‘unexpected changes’ in her programme, the lower house of Dutch parliament, announced. Suu Kyi is currently in The Hague due to a lawsuit that Gambia filed at the International Court of Justice against Myanmar, accusing the country of genocide against the Rohingya people.

Dutch parliamentarians wanted to use this opportunity to meet with her and talk about events past and present.

The foreign affairs committee planned to discuss the background of the genocide charges Gambia pressed against Myanmar with Suu Kyi, as well as the current situation in her country.
