YANGON (AFP) – Myanmar junta chief Min Aung Hlaing will travel to China next month, two sources close to the military told AFP yesterday, in what would be his first known trip there since he led a coup in 2021.
Min Aung Hlaing “is planning to go China in November… the trip has been planned since Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi visited Myanmar” in August, a source close to the military said.
“He (Min Aung Hlaing) will visit China next month,” another source said.
Both sources requested anonymity to talk to the media.
AFP has contacted China’s embassy in Yangon for comment.
