President of Belarus Aleksandr Lukashenko has arrived in the Republic of the Union of Myanmar on a working visit, BelTA reports
A meeting between the President of Belarus and Myanmar’s President Min Aung Hlaing is planned for July 2nd. The two leaders are expected to hold a one-on-one discussion focusing on the most pressing issues in Belarus-Myanmar relations.
The agenda also covers co-operation in sectors such as industry, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, humanitarian aid, and more. The joint action plan includes specific projects scheduled for implementation from 2026 to 2028.
In recent years, co-operation between Belarus and Myanmar has grown considerably. In 2025, the two countries saw their leaders make the first official visits to each other in the history of their bilateral relations. Additionally, in June of last year, Min Aung Hlaing travelled to Minsk for the EAEU summit, where he met with Aleksandr Lukashenko. In April of this year, Myanmar’s Parliament elected Min Aung Hlaing as president, and he received a congratulatory message from the Belarusian leader.
During this period of active communication and negotiations at various levels, the strong mutual interest between the two sides has moved into practical actions — specific initiatives outlined in the 2026-2028 roadmap are already underway.
Based on agreements made at the highest level, joint co-operative projects continue to advance. Notably, preparations are underway to begin assembly production of Belarusian MTZ tractors and MAZ automotive equipment in Myanmar. Additionally, co-operation in the pharmaceutical sector is expanding.
The bilateral projects agreed upon by the two countries’ leaders are specifically aimed at ensuring and maintaining a steady long-term increase in mutual trade turnover.
In past years, this indicator has been quite volatile. For example, in 2024, trade between Belarus and Myanmar nearly tripled compared to the previous year, reaching $34.6m (190 percent of the 2023 figure). However, in 2025, it fell to $16m. This year, the trend has improved again, particularly in terms of Belarusian exports. From January to April, the two countries exchanged goods valued at $8.6m, with Belarusian exports making up $4.1m. Key products exported include dry milk, whey, meat and bone meal, pharmaceuticals, and automobile spare parts.
