Myanmar’s junta leader, Min Aung Hlaing, is scheduled to visit Malaysia beginning on Wednesday. This visit marks his fifth trip to another member state of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) since assuming the presidency earlier in the year. The trip follows the commencement of returns of Myanmar migrants from Malaysia, a sensitive issue between the two countries. Details regarding the agenda of Min Aung Hlaing’s visit to Malaysia have not been widely publicized. The journey is likely focused on regional diplomacy and discussions regarding the ongoing political situation in Myanmar and the repatriation of its citizens. It remains to be seen what impact this visit will have on international efforts to address the crisis unfolding in Myanmar.
