April 6, Pozirk.<\/em> <\/strong>Ihar Siarhiejenka, chairman of the House of Representatives, will visit Myanmar this week by order of Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka to attend the presidential inauguration ceremony for Myanmar\u2019s junta chief Min Aung Hlaing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the press office of the lower chamber of Belarus\u2019 bicameral parliament, the visit will take place between April 7 and April 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On April 3, \u0141uka\u0161enka \u201con behalf of compatriots and his personal behalf\u201d congratulated General Min Aung Hlaing on his election as president of Myanmar. On that day, the parliament of Myanmar chose Min Aung Hlaing to be the next president, formalising his grip on political power five years after he ousted a democratically elected government. Nearly 90 percent of the lawmakers owe their loyalty to the military, either as serving officers or members of the army-backed USDP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myanmar\u2019s parliamentary elections, held in December and January, have been widely dismissed by Myanmar\u2019s opposition forces and Western governments as a sham designed to formalize military rule behind a veneer of democracy. A delegation of Belarus\u2019 central election commission observed the final phase of the elections at the end of January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka visited Myanmar in late November 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belarusian officials have sought to expand ties with Myanmar lately. The country has been under military rule after a coup in early 2021, followed by a civil war that is believed to have claimed more than 90,000 lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
