Aung San Suu Kyi's son, Kim Aris, spoke with her for the first time in over five years, reporting she sounded "fairly healthy" despite his ongoing concerns for her wellbeing at 81.
The 20-minute telephone conversation, held from Myanmar's embassy in London, focused on family matters, with both parties avoiding sensitive topics due to the call being recorded.
This contact is the latest in a series of rare updates on Suu Kyi's status, following recent photos of her receiving a package from Britain's King Charles III.
Analysts suggest Myanmar's military rulers are publicizing Suu Kyi's health and external contacts to improve their international image, gain legitimacy, and potentially use her to extract concessions or influence the ongoing civil conflict.
