- US reopened talks with Myanmar’s military-backed government.
- Southeast Asian countries restarted diplomatic contacts with Myanmar, while the EU faced uncomfortable questions about its continuing boycott of the junta.

That makes the bloc’s approach visibly divergent from the US and multiple Southeast Asian governments.
