Myanmar's Acting President Min Aung Hlaing arrived in Beijing on Tuesday to participate in events marking the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. The visit underscores Myanmar's historical ties with China and comes amid evolving regional diplomacy.
The commemorations honor China's pivotal role in defeating fascism during WWII, with leaders from across Asia attending. Analysts note the timing highlights Beijing's efforts to strengthen partnerships with neighboring nations through shared historical narratives.
This diplomatic engagement follows recent infrastructure collaborations between China and Myanmar under the Belt and Road Initiative. Observers suggest the visit could signal deeper bilateral cooperation on economic and security matters affecting Southeast Asia.
