Modi meets Myanmar’s military-backed president as India says engagement will continue
India said it will keep engaging Myanmar as the leaders discussed trade, security and connectivity, with bilateral trade topping $2 billion last year, officials said.
- Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with Myanmar's President Min Aung Hlaing in New Delhi on Monday, discussing trade, defense, and border management as India signals sustained engagement.
- India maintains diplomatic ties despite Western nations isolating Myanmar following the 2021 coup, with Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri stating the policy is "not intended to be a commentary on the internal political arrangements."
- The two countries cooperate on border security and intelligence sharing, having collaborated to rescue more than 2,400 Indian nationals from scam centers over the past 18 months.
- During the visit, Min Aung Hlaing met with Indian President Droupadi Murmu, Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, and National Security Adviser Ajit Doval to discuss energy, critical minerals, and connectivity projects.
- Misri emphasized that sustained dialogue is essential, stating "isolating Myanmar would be counterproductive," as history shows disengagement fails to produce better results than engagement.
