BANGKOK (AP) — The leader of Myanmar’s military-backed government embarked Saturday on an official visit to India, one of the country’s key regional partners, for high-level meetings aimed at strengthening bilateral ties.
It is the first time Min Aung Hlaing has traveled to the neighboring country since he was sworn into office as president in April following an election that critics say was orchestrated to maintain the military’s tight grip on power. His last visit to India was in 2019 as military chief.
