Min Aung Hlaing visits Cambodia as he seeks to restore ASEAN engagement
Myanmar’s military-backed president is heading to Cambodia to meet its leaders. Min Aung Hlaing has been working to normalize relations with Southeast Asian countries and secure international legitimacy after he led a military takeover of Myanmar's government in 2021. He has increased diplomatic engagements since becoming president in April, following an election criticized for solidifying military power.
His trip to Cambodia is his fourth recently to a fellow member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. The bloc barred him from its top-level meetings for failing to comply with ASEAN's peace plan for Myanmar after the military takeover.
