The welcoming ceremony for Aleksandr Lukashenko and Min Aung Hlaing was also solemn in nature. The Belarusian head of state was greeted by an honor guard company, and a military band performed the national anthems of Belarus and Myanmar. After a joint photo session, Aleksandr Lukashenko signed the guest book at the Presidential Palace.
