The special aircraft, welcomed and flanked by three Su-30 SME jet fighters from Myanmar’s Tatmadaw (Air), landed at the Nay Pyi Taw Tatmadaw Airport.

heads of state along the red carpet. Ethnic cultural troupes and dance troupes

chanted “May the President of the Republic of Belarus be healthy; may the
friendship between the two countries last long,” with waving miniature flags of
both countries. State flags of both countries were hoisted along both sides of
the road. The route was illuminated with the multicoloured lights. The LED
posters were erected, bearing “Myanmar warmly welcomes President Aleksandr
Lukashenko of the Republic of Belarus”.
Diplomatic relations
between Myanmar and the Republic of Belarus have now reached 26 years. At the

technologies, and further enhance collaboration across various sectors between
Myanmar and Belarus.
