Myanmar has been invited to take part in a regional military meeting co-chaired by the United States and Thailand.
Lieutenant Colonel Marty Meiners, a Pentagon spokesman, reportedly said attendance is determined by ASEAN member states.
The 18th ASEAN Defense Ministers’ Meeting-Plus (ADMM-Plus) Experts’ Working Group on Maritime Security and the ADMM-Plus EWG on MS Table-Top Exercise are scheduled to take place in Bangkok from February 20-24, 2023.
This is not the first time that the United States has invited Myanmar to a military meeting or exercise, with Myanmar attending the same forum virtually last year.
The Pentagon had also invited Myanmar as an observer in a major multinational military exercise led by the United States and Thailand In 2017. (NNT)
