NAY PYI TAW — Myanmar junta chief turned president Min Aung Hlaing will make an official visit to Laos in the next few days, state media reported on Wednesday, his first trip to a member state of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) since taking on his new civilian role.
The planned trip comes four months after Min Aung Hlaing completed a carefully engineered transition from head of the military government to president. He has already visited Myanmar's giant neighbours, India and China.
