The foreign minister of the State Administration Council, Wunna Maung Lwin, presented a road-map of the military to restore a “true” and “disciplined” democracy as a solution for the country’s political crisis during a meeting with his Southeast Asian and Chinese counterparts, EFE reported quoting official media.

The military, who made allegations of massive fraud in the November 2020 elections and used it as a justification for seizing power in a coup on Feb. 1, have subsequently published a five-point plan that culminates with “clean and fair” elections organized by the junta.

Wunna said on Monday during the meeting that most of the points were already being implemented, including the establishment of a new electoral commission – which is investigating the alleged fraud – measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19 and economic recovery, state daily The Global New Light of Myanmar said in a report on Tuesday.
