David Cameron, former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, released a new book on Thursday about his time in office between 2010 and 2016. The book, entitled, recounts his meeting with State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi of Myanmar where she claimed that Rohingyas aren't Burmese.
Upon first meeting Suu Kyi, who won a Nobel Peace Prize in 1991, Cameron was complimentary."I met the pro-democracy campaigner Aung San Suu Kyi, who would soon run for the presidency, and reflected on what an amazing story hers could be: from fifteen years of house arrest to transforming her country into a real democracy."But when Cameron met Suu Kyi a year later in London, he felt differently about the interaction.
