On October 22, President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko met with Chairman of the Assembly of the Union, Chairman of the Chamber of Nationalities of the Assembly of the Union of the Republic of Myanmar Aung Lin Two. The Belarusian leader expressed confidence in the need to intensify trade and economic cooperation between Belarus and Myanmar.

The expert explained the interest of Belarus in cooperation with Myanmar:

- Our foreign policy strategy in this large and growing region is based on trade and economic relations. Myanmar is a country quite large, rich in minerals, with a good climate for agriculture. We have something to offer – our traditional engineering products. I think farmers will need our tractors, and in the development of minerals, our equipment can also be competitive in price and quality.

Alexey Dzermant noted that cooperation can also cover the security sector:

- Another topic is security, cooperation with the military-industrial complex. In Myanmar, military specialists are in demand, they were trained in Soviet and Russian universities.

According to the guest of the program, in the training of specialists in the field of medicine and engineering, Belarusians can also provide Myanmar with high-quality, necessary educational services.

Another area of cooperation is tourism, the political scientist stressed:

The highlight is, of course, tourism. Myanmar, unlike other Southeast Asian countries, is not spoiled by Western tourism. In this country really untouched nature, original culture, extremely interesting - Buddhist. Therefore, it is important to open mutual embassies, simplify the visa regime, logistics.

Logistics is perhaps one of the main problems for both trade and human contacts, Dzermant added:

- But I think these problems are solvable. Myanmar has a border with China, and this is our friend, so you can get there.
