Time Digital News: The leader of Myanmar's military junta will travel to Russia next week for economic talks, state media in the Southeast Asian nation reported yesterday. Min Aung Hlaing will attend the Eastern Economic Forum in the far-eastern city of Vladivostok, The Global New Light of Myanmar said. Representatives from China, India, Japan, Kazakhstan and other countries will also attend. Min Aung Hlaing is unlikely to be invited to the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) leaders' summit in Phnom Penh in November, with the bloc frustrated over a lack of progress on resolving the country's political crisis.
