Myanmar's Min Aung Hlaing to visit Vietnam this week, continuing push for re-eng...
Myanmar's junta chief-turned-president Min Aung Hlaing will make an official visit to Vietnam from Sept. 4 to 6 at the invitation of Vietnamese President To Lam, state media in both countries reported on Tuesday.
Myanmar's junta chief and newly appointed president, Min Aung Hlaing, is set to visit Vietnam from September 4 to 6, according to state media reports. This trip is the seventh country he has visited since taking office earlier this year as he strives to enhance his legitimacy and re-engage with the region. During his visit, Min Aung Hlaing will engage in bilateral talks with Vietnamese President To Lam, alongside a meeting with the country's prime minister and National Assembly president.
Additionally, he will attend a Myanmar-Vietnam business forum and converse with representatives from economic organizations. The visit comes in the wake of other foreign trips by Min Aung Hlaing, including those to Russia and Thailand in August, as his administration attempts to bolster overseas connections to bolster its international standing.
Despite these efforts, ASEAN has excluded Myanmar's political delegation from its summits due to the ongoing civil war, which began following the junta's 2021 coup. Only non-political participation is permitted in these summits.
