Indonesian minister to fly to Myanmar in first foreign envoy visit since coup - document

Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi will fly to Myanmar on Thursday in the first known trip to the Southeast Asian nation by a foreign envoy since the military seized power in a coup on Feb. 1, according to a leaked government document.

The letter from the Ministry of Transport, which a Myanmar official confirmed to Reuters was authentic, said she would arrive in the morning and fly back several hours later.

A spokesman for the Indonesian foreign ministry said the minister was in Thailand and may travel to other countries in the region afterwards, but could not confirm which.
