BANGKOK -- Myanmar junta chief Min Aung Hlaing arrived in Moscow on Monday to meet with senior Russian military and government officials, looking to bolster ties with a crucial partner amid growing international backlash against his regime.
Myanmar's commander-in-chief met with Nikolai Patrushev, secretary of the Russian Security Council and a close aide to President Vladimir Putin. They discussed cooperation on national security as well as recent political developments in the Southeast Asian country, a Myanmar military spokesperson said.
