Over a very civilized game of golf though.

This Myanmar general is the same guy who asked Thailand to review the evidence after the verdict was announced.

The Prime Minister cited the readiness of the Thai government to cooperate with Myanmar’s new civilian government.

Sadly, Gen Min Aung Hlaing couldn't return such cooperation.
