The biggest obstacle to the election will not be damage from the disaster but rather the fraught political position that prevails in much of the country.

The ceasefire, which will run until April 22, follows similar announcements from major ethnic rebel groups.

The country's civil war has hampered relief efforts, while junta controls have made it hard to gauge the quake's impact in remote regions.

Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing has promised to transfer power to whoever wins the election, but there are many reasons to be skeptical.

The trip to Thailand for the 6th BIMSTEC Summit would be Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing's first to an ASEAN member state since 2021.

Sanctioned and isolated by the West, the two nations are moving to develop their currently negligible trade and investment ties.

Isolated and sanctioned by the West, the two nations continue to move into closer diplomatic and strategic alignment.

Facing Western sanctions and opprobrium, Naypyidaw and Moscow have strengthened their cooperation in both the economic and security spheres.

The six-month extension is intended to buy time for the military's long-promised election, but conditions in the country are not propitious.

An overhaul in ASEAN’s approach to Myanmar is clearly needed, but tilting toward the junta is the exact wrong direction.

The Prosecutor at the International Criminal Court demands an arrest warrant for Myanmar’s dictator Min Aung Hlaing.

Min Aung Hlaing's visit to Kunming seems to mark a watershed in Beijing's policy toward the country's civil war.

The apparent attack comes at a time of growing Chinese support for the beleaguered military junta in Naypyidaw.

Due to the security situation, a comprehensive census, let alone a multiparty election, will remain a remote prospect for the foreseeable future.

China continues to work with the military junta, but ties between Beijing and Naypyidaw are fraying amid the ongoing conflict.

The announcement followed reports that the current acting president, Myint Swe, has been placed on medical leave.

Alounkeo Kittikhoun and Min Aung Hlaing discussed Myanmar's representation within ASEAN and the bloc’s provision of humanitarian aid to the country.

The daring kamikaze drone attack did not cause much damage, but its political significance cannot be underestimated.

Three years after the coup, and several months after the beginning of a major resistance offensive, Myanmar under Min Aung Hlaing is locked into a course of continued conflict.

With resistance forces gaining ground across the country, the military's plans to hold elections later this year are looking increasingly delusional.

The sentences come at a time of growing discontent with the leadership of junta chief Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing.

Alounkeo Kittikhoun is undertaking his first mission to Myanmar after taking up the rotating post at the start of this month.

The two sides pledged to "jointly maintain peace and stability on the China-Myanmar border" and fight telecom scam operations.
