Myanmar’s President U Min Aung Hlaing will pay an official visit to India from 30 May to 3 June at the invitation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, marking his first trip to India in his current capacity, the Indian government announced on Thursday.
The president will be accompanied by a high-level delegation comprising several cabinet ministers, senior officials, and business leaders.
During his visit to New Delhi, President U Min Aung Hlaing will hold discussions with Prime Minister Modi on 1 June on further strengthening the historical and civilisational ties between the two countries. He will also participate in a business forum.
As part of the visit, the Myanmar president will travel to Bodh Gaya on 30 May and to Mumbai on 2 June for business and industry interactions and site visits.
The press release noted that Myanmar lies at the confluence of India’s ‘Neighbourhood First’, ‘Act East’, and ‘MAHASAGAR’ policies. The official visit is expected to further strengthen and deepen the multi-faceted relations between the two countries.
The visit was originally scheduled to coincide with the International Big Cat Alliance Summit on June 1, which has since been deferred. The bilateral meetings will proceed as planned.
