Lukashenka Curries Favor With Myanmar War Criminal

The regimes of the two countries are under Western sanctions.

On March 7, the ruler of Belarus received a delegation headed by the head of the military junta of Myanmar Min Aung Hlaing at the Palace of Independence. Aliaksandr Lukashenka tried very hard to please him. The regimes of the two countries are under Western sanctions, writes Solidarity.

Min Aung Hlaing arrived in Minsk after a meeting with Vladimir Putin in Moscow: the head of the junta of Myanmar called him a “king”.

Min Aung Hlaing also flattered the ruler of Belarus, but Aliaksandr Lukashenka did not lag behind him. The ruler of Belarus told the head of the impoverished country:

— I think we will be useful to you. Therefore, I suggest that you seriously study Belarus in terms of the directions and development of our country — industry, agriculture, logistics. If you see something useful for you, know that we are always with you and are ready to implement your interests.

And having received the Order of the Union of Myanmar, 1st degree, Lukashenka kissed it and noted:

— This is an advance, I understand. I will do everything to justify it.

It is unclear what the ruler of Belarus is counting on. According to his press service, during the negotiations the parties “agreed to develop a specific plan for the development of cooperation.” It turns out that at the moment there is no cooperation between the two states, or even a plan for its establishment.

The military, led by Min Aung Hlaing, came to power in Myanmar as a result of a coup on February 1, 2021, overthrowing the elected government.

Formally, Min Aung Hlaing is the prime minister and chairman of the State Administrative Council. He is under sanctions from EU countries for involvement in gross human rights violations: the military killed civilians and unarmed protesters.

It is interesting that in Minsk the head of the junta congratulated Lukashenka on his “victory” in the “elections”, and in response he declared his readiness to send observers to the “elections” in Myanmar.
