Georgia–Myanmar relations
bilateral diplomatic relations
Georgia–Myanmar relations are the bilateral relations between Georgia and Myanmar.
Relations
Diplomatic relations between Georgia and Myanmar were established on 16 August 1999. The ties between both states have been tense ever since Georgia's 2003 Rose Revolution, particularly due to Myanmar's close ties to Russia.
Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili often cited Myanmar as an example of an authoritarian regime that Georgia sought to be differentiate itself from. In 2005, during U.S. President George W. Bush's visit to Tbilisi, he announced his support for the American attempts to push for democratic reform and end the totalitarian government in the southeastern Asian country. In 2007, during his annual address to the United Nations General Assembly, President Saakashvili called on the international community to support pro-democratic protests in Myanmar:
Today, in this great hall, we have an opportunity to reaffirm one of the core principles of the United Nations: the right of every individual to pursue a life of liberty in dignity; by voicing our support for the hundreds of thousands of monks and ordinary citizens daring to seek freedom for the people of Burma.We must stand fast with them. It is my deepest hope that we will look back and remember this “Saffron Revolution" of the Burmese monks as another step in the inevitable march of liberty across the planet.
In 2012, when vetoing a bill to release prisoners recognized as "political prisoners" by the Georgian Parliament, President Saakashvili presented a sharp contrast between Georgia's democratic advancement and Myanmar's authoritarian regime.
Meanwhile Myanmar, while formally recognizing the territorial integrity of Georgia, has consistently sided with Russia in the Russo-Georgian conflict. In 2006, it was one of the 15 countries to vote against a UN resolution calling for a renewed debate on the separatist conflicts in Georgia, Azerbaijan, Ukraine, and Moldova.

The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
