There has been no communication from either the president or Ms. Suu Kyi since the military seized power in the early hours of 1 February.
The coup, led by armed forces chief Min Aung Hlaing, installed an 11-member junta which is ruling under a year-long state of emergency.
The military sought to justify its action by alleging fraud in last November’s elections, which Ms Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy (NLD) won decisively.
