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.
