JUNTA leader Min Aung Hlaing will travel to China this week to attend regional summits. It is the embattled top general’s first visit to the influential neighbouring nation since he seized power in a 2021 coup.
Myanmar has been in chaos since the coup, including areas along its border with China, as an armed resistance movement combined with established ethnic minority militias to wrest control of large territories from the military government.
Min Aung Hlaing will attend summits of the Greater Mekong Subregion and the Ayeyawady-Chao Phraya-Mekong Economic Co-operation Strategy (Acmecs) and join a meeting with Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam on Nov 6 and 7 in Kunming, MRTV said.
“He will have meetings and discussions with authorities from China and will work on enhancing the bilateral relationship, economic and development in several sectors,” it said, referring to the junta chief. — Reuters
