               YANGON (Aug. 3) XINHUA - Myanmar established
               diplomatic relations with Azerbaijan Tuesday at
               ambassadorial level, according to a press communique
               issued by the Myanmar Foreign Ministry. 

               Azerbaijan is the 78th country in the world with which
               Myanmar has established diplomatic ties since its
               independence in 1948. 

               Since 1988 when the present government came to power,
               Myanmar has established ties with more countries
including
               Peru, Venezuela, Colombia, Papua New Guinea, Brunei,
               Brazil, South Africa, Kenya, Kuwait and Ukraine. 

               Myanmar has opened 29 embassies, two permanent
               missions and two consulates-general in various parts of
the
               world, according to the ministry.
