Min Aung Hlaing, who serves as president of Myanmar’s military-backed government, will pay a state visit to Laos from July 3 to 5 at the invitation of Lao President Thongloun Sisoulith, according to official announcements.
During the visit, the two sides are expected to discuss ways to strengthen bilateral friendship, good-neighborly relations and cooperation across a range of sectors.
Myanmar and Laos established diplomatic relations on July 12, 1955, and marked the 70th anniversary of bilateral ties in 2025.
The visit follows a trip to Myanmar earlier in June by a Lao delegation led by Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Thongsavanh Phomvihane, during which the two countries discussed expanded bilateral cooperation.
Further details, including which leaders Min Aung Hlaing is expected to meet and any agreements that may be signed during the visit, have not yet been disclosed.
