Top officials in Myanmar have hosted a delegation from Russia for talks aimed at cultivating closer ties. The visit follows a contentious election in Myanmar where the military-backed party swept both legislative chambers.
Myanmar state media says military leader Min Aung Hlaing met with Russia's Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu in the capital Naypyitaw on Tuesday.
The pair discussed closer cooperation on cybersecurity, economic matters, space technology, and education.
Shoigu reportedly complimented Myanmar for overcoming a range of hurdles to stage a successful election.
The junta promised the ballot would serve as a transition to civilian rule, but it banned pro-democracy parties from taking part. Russia and China are among only a handful of countries that have recognized the result.
Five years after the military seized power in a coup, Myanmar remains mired in civil war.
Observers say the military is trying to bolster its position through its ties with Russia, one of the few countries it still counts as a friend.
