Myanmar's President Min Aung Hlaing visited Thailand (August 6-7) to strengthen bilateral ties. Key outcomes include reopening the second Thai-Myanmar Friendship Bridge (Mae Sot-Myawady), hosting the 8th Joint Trade Commission within 2026 after a 10+ year gap, and signing 3 MOUs on labour cooperation, water quality management, and space technology. Thailand targets $12 billion in bilateral trade by 2031 and emphasizes Myanmar's importance to Thailand's economy, particularly its workforce. Security cooperation also advances on drug trafficking, online fraud, and cross-border crime.
