As of 2024, Myanmar has diplomatic ties with 126 countries and missions in 37 countries. However, the junta’s top brass, including its boss Min Aung Hlaing, can only travel to a handful of countries.
Among them are fellow ASEAN members like Thailand, Laos and Cambodia, as well as its two giant neighbors, China and India. Notably, Iran also threw its door open to junta leaders.
The regime has been shunned by the West since the 2021 military coup, with countries such as the United States and United Kingdom downgrading diplomatic ties and imposing sanctions. As a result, junta chiefs have been barred from visiting western nations.
