Khin Thet Htay (Burmese: ခင်သက်ဌေး) is the current Second Lady of Myanmar and former acting First Lady of Myanmar.[2][3][4] She initially became acting First Lady when her spouse became acting President for ten days in March 2018 and again after the coup d'état on 1 February 2021. She also served as Vice President of Myanmar Women's Affairs Federation in early 2009.[5]
Her husband Myint Swe was sworn in as acting president under the Constitution of Myanmar, which also called for Pyidaungsu Hluttaw to select a new President within seven days of Htin Kyaw's resignation.
On 2 March 2023, the military government awarded her the title of Agga Maha Thiri Thudhamma Theingi, one of the country’s highest religious honors, for significantly contributing to the propagation of Buddhism.[6]
