A relação bilateral Brasil-Myanmar foi um dos temas relevantes no discurso do Embaixador Myo Tint, que afirmou que a relação diplomática entre Brasil e Myanmar é baseada na cordialidade e entendimento mútuo.
O Embaixador Reinaldo Salgado, Secretário de Negociações Bilaterais para Ásia, Oceania e Rússia, também esteve presente na cerimônia e destacou o crescimento das relações bilaterais entre os dois países, principalmente através da abertura das Embaixadas em 1996, no Brasil e em 2010 em Myanmar. De acordo com Reinaldo Salgado, somos o único país da América Latina a ter Embaixada em Myanmar.
Brasil e Myanmar estabeleceram relações em 1982. Desde então o país asiático vem conquistando investimentos brasileiros em diversos setores como infraestrutura, transporte, hidrelétricas, exploração de hidrocarbonetos e mineração. Em 2013, assinaram o Acordo de Cooperação Técnica, que permite parcerias bilaterais nas áreas da agricultura, segurança alimentar, transporte aéreo, energias renováveis, finanças e esportes.

Republic of the Union of Myanmar
The Republic of Myanmar, a South Asian country and a member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), had its independence in 1948 under the official name of "Union of Burma". In 1989, the military regime changed the name to "Union of Myanmar". Already in 2009, through the Constitution, the country officially changed the name to "Republic of the Union of Myanmar". This renaming has been controversial for some Burmese groups that are opposed to the military regime.
About 50% of the country is occupied by tropical forests that contain several species of fauna and flora, the fertility of its soils allows the country to own oil fields and ore.
The most prominent figure in Myanmar's history is Mrs. Aung San Suu Kyi, general secretary of the National League for Democracy and daughter of the national hero of independence of Burma, Aung San. Suu Kyi won the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize for defending democracy in the country.
During a general election in 1990, a National League for Democracy (NLD) party led by Aung San Suu Kyi won 59% of the vote in the country, winning about 81% of parliamentary seats, which would make Suu Kyi the prime minister from the country. However, shortly before the elections she was arrested and held in domiciliation. Her release came in 2010 under heavy international pressure. Suu Kyi is a symbol of motivation for the struggle to defend democracy.
