Which leader visited Myanmar in November 2025 amid international criticism over the country’s upcoming election?
Alexander LukashenkoBelarusian President Alexander Lukashenko arrived in Myanmar on a goodwill visit in late November 2025, drawing criticism from international observers. His trip is seen as lending legitimacy to Myanmar’s military-led government, which plans to hold an election widely condemned as neither free nor fair. Belarus, along with China and Russia, has been a key supporter of Myanmar’s junta since the 2021 coup that ousted Aung San Suu Kyi’s elected government. Lukashenko’s government, itself authoritarian, shares ideological and strategic affinities with Myanmar’s regime. The visit underscores deepening ties between pariah states facing Western sanctions.

Which international religious event is Pope Leo XIV commemorating during his visit to Türkiye?
The 1,700th anniversary of the Council of NicaeaPope Leo XIV is in Türkiye to mark the 1,700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea, held in 325 AD, which produced the Nicene Creed—a foundational statement of Christian faith accepted across Catholic, Orthodox, and many Protestant denominations. The Pope emphasized the creed as a living expression of the faith’s core and highlighted its role in fostering Christian unity. The commemoration is especially significant given the historical split between Eastern and Western churches in 1054. The event, to be held in Iznik (ancient Nicaea), will feature joint participation with Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew. This trip also reinforces the Vatican’s outreach to minority Christian communities in Muslim-majority Türkiye.
