Belarusian PM to visit Myanmar

Belarusian Prime Minister Dr. Mikhail V. Myasnikovich will pay a goodwill visit to Myanmar in the near future, aimed at promoting bilateral relations between the two countries, according to an official announcement from Nay Pyi Taw Monday. Myasnikovich will make the trip at the invitation of Myanmar President U Thein Sein, the announcement said without specifying the date of the visit. In January this year, Myanmar Deputy Foreign Minister U Maung Myint officially visited Belarus, during which the two countries reached a memorandum of understanding on the establishment of bilateral consultation between the foreign ministries to promote bilateral cooperation. In the first round of bilateral consultation between the two foreign ministries held in Belarus then, U Maung Myint had discussions with his Belarusian counterpart S Aleinikthe on promotion of bilateral relations and cooperation in the international forum and strengthening cooperation between the two countries in the areas of agriculture, trade, industry and other economic activities. Belarusian embassy based in Vietnam's capital of Hanoi also represents its diplomatic mission to Myanmar.
