Myanmar’s Min Aung Hlaing Heads to Russia to Deepen Strategic Ties with Moscow Myanmar's military backed government is seeking to bolster its international standing through a series of high level diplomatic visits, including President Min Aung Hlaing's upcoming trip to Moscow.
The visit comes as the West continues to impose economic and political sanctions on Myanmar in response to the brutal suppression of opposition forces.
Min Aung Hlaing has made seven official visits to Russia since the 2021 military coup, with this latest trip coinciding with his government's efforts to consolidate power.
