Professional life
[edit]Aung Min served as a key negotiator during the Thein Sein administration. He worked primarily on engaging armed ethnic groups for the purposes of promoting the internal security of Myanmar.
Aung Min would loose prominence with the rise of Aung San Suu Kyi. He would along with other Thein Sein administration officials run for a seat in the nations legislature. His colleague Soe Thein would succeed while he could fail to be elected to the Pyithu Hluttaw. [6]
