Myanmar president Min Aung Hlaing's India visit puts border security and regional ties in focus

Myanmar President Min Aung Hlaing has held talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi during a five-day visit to India, with the discussions focusing on trade, connectivity, border security and defence. The meeting is being closely watched because it is Min Aung Hlaing's first foreign trip since becoming president earlier this year. It also comes as regional governments weigh how to engage with Myanmar's military-backed leadership after years of conflict and political upheaval.
