Gen. Zaw Min Tun told a news conference in the capital, Naypyitaw, that the country was returning to normal and government ministries and banks would resume full operations soon. "The reason of reducing protests is due to cooperation of people who want peace, which we value," Zaw Min Tun said. "The suggestions from neighboring countries and big countries and powerful people in politics, we respect them," Zaw Min Tun said. Zaw Min Tun said reports that some members of the international community did not recognize the military government were "fake news." "I regret that Tatmadaw answered me yesterday that they are not ready to receive me," Schraner Burgener said on Twitter, referring to the Myanmar military.
