The leader of Myanmar’s military-backed government met yesterday with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi, during which both leaders pledged to strengthen cooperation in a host of domains.
Min Aung Hlaing arrived in India on Saturday for a five-day state visit, his first to the country since leading the military coup of 2021, with a large delegation in tow.
Min Aung Hlaing last visited India in 2019, in his capacity as the commander-in-chief of the Myanmar armed forces.
Unusually, Modi and Min Aung Hlaing did not address the media after their summit.
For Indian political coverage, the most important question is whether the development changes governance priorities, party strategy, parliamentary work, electoral positioning or the public record around a policy decision.
