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.

- 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.
