Russian President Vladimir Putin said he has invited Myanmar's Prime Minister Min Aung Hlaing to take part in VE-Day celebrations in Moscow on May 9.
"I invited Mr. Min Aung Hlaing to take part in the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the victory on the Great Patriotic War [of 1941-1945] (the Eastern Front during WWII where the former Soviet Union fought against Nazi Germany - TASS) on May 9," he said after talks with the visiting Myanmar prime minister.
"According to our agreement, a unit of the Myanmar armed forces will take parade on Red Square along with the Russian military," he added.
The Russian president has invited many world leaders to attend the VE-Day celebrations in Moscow. Several friendly countries, including Belarus and Mongolia, will send their military to take part in the military parade on Red Square.
