Myanmar's junta leader-turned president Min Aung Hlaing met Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on Monday, in his first foreign trip since being sworn in as a civilian president in April — a transition that consolidates his rule five years after a military coup. Talks centred on border security, the spillover effects of Myanmar's ongoing civil war on India's northeastern states, and bilateral trade, which exceeded $2 billion in the past year. India also raised the issue of cybercrime, noting it had repatriated over 2,400 nationals from scam compounds in Myanmar, while Modi reaffirmed New Delhi's support for a "Myanmar-led" peace process and its interest in regional connectivity projects linking landlocked northeast India to Southeast Asia through Myanmar.
