Myanmar's junta chief is becoming a frequent flier.

In the last six months, Min Aung Hlaing has flown to more countries than he did in the years after he grabbed power in a 2021 coup that ousted an elected civilian government.

His travels — part of a diplomatic push by Min Aung Hlaing to win support for a controversial December election — include two trips each to key allies China and Russia, and one each to Thailand, Belarus and, this week, to Kazakhstan.
