Cambodia's ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) declared an overwhelming victory in the general election, claiming an estimated 100 out of 125 parliamentary seats.

Myanmar's detained Nobel laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi, received a package from Britain's King Charles III, which included two gardening books, a sealed envelope, and diplomatic communication.

Suu Kyi, who was deposed in a 2021 military coup that triggered an ongoing civil war, remains under house arrest on charges that rights groups contend are politically motivated.
