Red Lantern Analytica presents a new research report, “Geopolitical Convergence: Evolution and Trajectories of Myanmar-Russia Relationship,” authored by Lt. Col. Ujjual Abhishek Jha, DCPP

The report traces the evolution of Myanmar-Russia relations from their establishment in 1948 to the emergence of a broader strategic partnership in the post-2021 period. It examines the expansion of bilateral cooperation across defence, nuclear energy, space, energy, infrastructure, finance and diplomacy.

It explores the strategic interests driving this convergence, while assessing the constraints posed by China’s dominance, Western sanctions and Myanmar’s ongoing internal conflict. The analysis further examines the implications of this growing partnership for ASEAN, the Bay of Bengal and India’s strategic interests, before mapping possible trajectories for the future of Myanmar-Russia relations.
