Myanmar president to pay state visit to India

Xinhua, August 24, 2016 Adjust font size:

Myanmar President U Htin Kyaw will pay a state visit to India soon, said an official announcement Wednesday without specifying the date of the visit.

The announcement of U Htin Kyaw's state visit to India at the invitation of his Indian counterpart Pranab Mukherjee comes days after Indian External Affairs Minister Sushama Swaraj came to Myanmar, during which Swaraj met with the Myanmar president and focused their talks on the promotion of bilateral trade ties, cooperation in transport, health and energy sectors.

The Indian side offered technical assistance to the development of Myanmar's agricultural sector.

Myanmar and India have vowed to cooperate on border security following clashes between the Indian army and an Indian rebel group, the Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland, near Myanmar-India border in June last year.

The Myanmar side pledged not to tolerate any rebel groups active on its soil which are trying to harm the interest of its neighboring countries. Endit
