Japan is advocating for Myanmar's removal from the Financial Action Task Force's (FATF) blacklist, per Japan Times. The move comes as international pressure mounts for economic normalization.

The UN investigator reported that Myanmar's junta continues attacks on civilians to terrorize them, with arms purchases fueling ongoing conflict, BBC notes.

ASEAN Special Envoy has concluded a humanitarian mission to Myanmar, amid persistent concerns over human rights violations and political repression, The Diplomat reports.

Meanwhile, former President Trump expressed interest in Myanmar's rare earth resources, though he is reportedly speaking to the wrong contacts, Responsible Statecraft notes.
