A seminar was held at the School of Public Policy called “New Potential Canadian Policy Engagements on Myanmar in 2024” at Chiang Mai University (CMU) on Aug. 14. Napas Thein, a research fellow from the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Canada, currently based at the CMU School of Public Policy in northern Thailand, presented the policy brief.
“[The] seminar was a presentation of the work that I did over the past month-and-a-half, interviewing people on the ground [about] what they think Canada’s next involvement in Myanmar should be,” Napas Thein told DVB.
“The key points of my policy brief are that Canada’s engagement into Myanmar should renew in the upcoming cycle, and should include some developments in Myanmar that are not yet considered by the Canadian government,” he added.
