'Aung San Suu Kyi has fallen so astonishingly far from being the darling of the EU that she now counts a meeting with Orban, the pariah of Europe, as an important accomplishment,' Human Rights Watch said.
The leader of Myanmar, Aung San Suu Kyi, and Hungary's far-right Prime Minister Viktor Orban have agreed that migration poses one of the"greatest challenges" for their countries.
"They noted that both regions have seen the emergence of the issue of co-existence with continuously growing Muslim populations." The Nobel laureate has been criticized for not condemning the Myanmar military violent crackdown on the Muslim Rohingya minority in 2016-2017, one million of whom have fled and are living in refugee camps in Bangladesh.She has also failed to speak up for the two Reuters journalists who were jailed for their reporting of the violence. Wa Lone, 33, and Kyaw Soe Oo, 29, were convicted of breaking the colonial-era Official Secrets Act in Myanmar, and were imprisoned in Yangon's Insein jail.
Robertson added:"The message of this meeting to Brussels should be clear: Myanmar is not listening to your quiet diplomatic niceties."
