Thihathura Tin Aung Myint Oo (Burmese: တင်အောင်မြင့်ဦး [tɪ̀ɰ̃ àʊɰ̃ mjɪ̰ɰ̃ ʔú]; born 29 May 1949) is a Burmese former military official and politician who served as First Vice President of Myanmar from 30 March 2011 to 1 July 2012. He is also chairman of Burmese Trade Council, having been appointed in November 2007 by Than Shwe, in response to Saffron Revolution demonstrations in October of that year,[2] and Minister of Military Affairs.[3] He joined the Buddhist monkhood on 3 May, after speculation over his disappearance had circulated throughout news media.[4]
