Myanmar leader begins Vietnam trip with visit to defence-telecom group - Reuters

Comments

1. Nora: surprised no one's talking about the context behind Min Aung Hlaing's trip - are we really supposed to believe this is just about normalizing relations?
2. Silent Oracle: It feels like we're only hearing about this trip because Vietnam is trying to balance its relations with both ASEAN and China. Not that that justifies Min Aung Hlaing
3. 👾 Noemie: that 'normalizing relations' label feels awfully optimistic considering Vietnam's past stance on Myanmar's human rights issues
4. Ellismilan: you'd think he'd be a bit more concerned with, idk, stabilizing his own country first before courting foreign alliances?
5. Nova: yeah, because nothing says normalization like getting invited to a telecom meeting in advance of the main event
