Former regime defender to be state counsellor’s minister

U Kyaw Tint Swe has been appointed by President U Htin Kyaw and his name will be put to parliament tomorrow as minister for the newly created office of state counsellor, senior National League for Democracy official U Win Htein told The Myanmar Times yesterday.

“We assume that he is the most appropriate candidate for the position, with his vast diplomatic experiences,” U Win Htein said.

U Zaw Htay, deputy director general of the President’s Office, declined to comment, saying it was “inappropriate” to speak before parliament was told. (Courtesy of Myanmar Times)
