Myint Swe appointed as Myanmar acting president

Myanmar's first Vice-President Myint Swe will serve as the acting president of the country, the military-owned Myawady TV announced after the army staged a coup and detained State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi on Monday.

The military on Monday declared a state of emergency in the country for one year.

The declaration signed by First Vice President U Myint Swe, who is serving as the acting president, was announced on the military-owned Myawady TV, Xinhua reported. The state power will be handed over to Commander-in-Chief of Defense Services Min Aung Hlaing, the statement said.

U Myint Swe previously served as Acting President of Myanmar after the resignation of then-President Htin Kyaw on March 21, 2018.

The state-run Radio and Television (MRTV) announced on its social media page that it was no longer working on Monday morning, Xinhua reported.
