Kim Aris, son of former Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi, told NPR that rare photographs showing his mother meeting a foreign official have given him "a reason to hope" for the first time since the military coup ousted her in 2021. These images have brought a sense of optimism to her family amid ongoing political turmoil in Myanmar.

The military coup in 2021 removed Aung San Suu Kyi from power, and since then, her family has faced uncertainty regarding her condition and future. The newly surfaced photographs mark a significant moment for her relatives.
