South Korea – Myanmar Diplomatic Relations

Korea and Myanmar established diplomatic ties in June 1975. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, Korea became one of Myanmar's largest investors, drawn by low labor costs and a strategic location bridging South and Southeast Asia. Relations were complicated by Myanmar's 2021 military coup, which prompted Korea to reassess some bilateral programs. Nonetheless, the Korean government has continued to maintain consular operations and support for Korean businesses and residents.

South Korea – Myanmar Trade & Economy

Bilateral trade reached about $900 million in 2023, with Korean exports (mainly machinery, textiles, and steel) at around $560 million and imports from Myanmar (garments, seafood, and agricultural goods) at approximately $340 million. Korean investment in Myanmar's manufacturing sector — particularly in the Thilawa Special Economic Zone — has been substantial, with cumulative investment exceeding $3 billion.
