Chinese President Xi Jinping held a meeting in Beijing with Min Aung Hlaing, the commander of Myanmar's military junta, according to reports by Israeli journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12). The encounter marks a rare public summit between the two leaders amid Myanmar's deepening civil conflict.
Chinese President Xi Jinping met with Myanmar junta chief Min Aung Hlaing in Beijing on Tuesday morning, according to a report by Israeli journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12). The content of the meeting has not been disclosed, and it remains unclear what agenda items were discussed.
Xi has met with a series of international leaders in Beijing over the past year, but a summit with the head of Myanmar's military regime is relatively rare. The junta has been locked in a multi-front civil war since its 2021 coup, facing armed opposition from pro-democracy militias and ethnic armed groups. China has positioned itself as a key diplomatic and economic partner of the junta, while also maintaining ties with some opposition groups.
The Zioneer has previously covered Xi's foreign policy engagements, including his rare summit with North Korea's Kim Jong Un and analysis of China's nuclear deterrence strategy. The present meeting appears to be the first reported encounter between Xi and Min Aung Hlaing, and no prior bulletin on this specific diplomatic meeting exists in the archive.
