Myanmar's Min Aung Hlaing Visits Russia to Discuss Bilateral and Strategic Cooperation

Analysed 17 Aug 2026·2 sources analysed·Myanmar·Politics
Myanmar's Min Aung Hlaing Visits Russia to Discuss Bilateral and Strategic CooperationPreviousNext

Myanmar's President Min Aung Hlaing began an official visit to Russia to meet President Vladimir Putin and other senior officials. The talks will focus on strengthening bilateral ties, strategic cooperation, and economic, security, and social affairs. Min Aung Hlaing will also attend a Myanmar-Russia Business Forum. This marks his seventh visit to Russia since the military seized power in 2021. Despite multiple foreign trips, he remains largely isolated internationally amid criticism of Myanmar's recent elections as unfair.
