The usurper general is under tough international sanctions.

Aliaksandr Lukashenka congratulated the Prime Minister and Chairman of the State Administrative Council of Myanmar Min Aung Hlaing on the 25th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, and also invited him to visit, the dictator's press service reports.

Lukashenka noted that he would be glad "to welcome Min Aung Hlaing in the near future on the hospitable Belarusian soil to discuss issues on the bilateral agenda and determine plans for the future," the press service writes.

Recall that on February 2, 2021, a military coup was carried out in Myanmar under the leadership of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, which caused mass protests that escalated into a civil war. Power passed to the military junta.

According to Armed Conflict Location & Event Data, as of 24 June 2022, a total of about 21,000 people have been killed in the post-coup violence.

Myanmar, like Belarus, has a citizenship deprivation procedure. In addition, Myanmar and Belarus are the only countries for which the International Labour Organization has adopted a resolution on the application of Article 33 of its Charter, thus calling on the world community to reconsider relations with their authorities.

Myanmar, which has established a harsh dictatorship, is subject to sanctions and is in almost complete international isolation. Moreover, restrictions against the Belarusian authorities are also related to this state. For example, the UK has imposed sanctions on individuals and organizations that facilitated the supply of weapons and equipment for the armed forces of Myanmar from Russia and Belarus.
