Forum on “Myanmar Beyond 2025: Challenges and Opportunities in the Multipolar World” took place at MICC I in Nay Pyi Taw on 21st March.

Chairman of the State Administration Council Prime Minister Senior General Min Aung Hlaing attended the opening ceremony of the forum.

Organized by Myanmar Narrative Think Tank under the lead of the Ministry of Information, the forum saw the participation of experts in geoeconomics and geopolitics from China, Russia, India, Japan, Thai, Italy and Nepal as well as local experts and international observers.

The ceremony commenced with the performance by the artists from Fine Art Department under the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Culture, followed by screening of a video clip on Myanmar Geopolitical and Geoeconomic Landscape Beyond 2025.

The Prime Minister later delivered an opening speech and made discussion on the challenges and opportunities to be faced by Myanmar in the Multipolar World.

During the forum, participants will discuss three main topics – “Myanmar and Asia’s Role in Changing Multipolar World”, “Challenges and Opportunities of Myanmar in the Multipolar World Beyond 2025” and “Geopolitical Challenges and Promising Opportunities of Myanmar in the Multipolar World Beyond 2025”.

The forum intends to raise international awareness about the current situation of the country together with political changes, fostering collaboration towards Myanmar with understanding and empathy, counter the baseless accusations to promote the country’s image, understand the challenges and opportunities emerging in the changing global landscape in 2025, specifically in a multipolar world, and identify ways to prepare for them in advance.
