Myanmar's Diplomatic Dodge: Legitimacy in ASEAN Eyes The upcoming visit of Myanmar's leader Min Aung Hlaing to Cambodia, scheduled for September 11 12, is the latest chapter in a complex diplomatic dance across Southeast Asia.
For months, Min Aung Hlaing has been crisscrossing the region, meeting with heads of state and signing agreements aimed at solidifying his regime's position.
Critics have long accused ASEAN countries of hosting Min Aung Hlaing despite ongoing violence in Myanmar, which has claimed over 100,000 lives since the 2021 coup.
