India today sought sensitivity towards its strategic interests from Myanmar, articulating concerns over China's growing influence there during key talks between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Myanmar President U Htin Kyaw today.
Modi thanked Kyaw for making India his first foreign destination since taking over as the official head of state of his country five months ago.
But Kyaw remains, in the view of most observers, a titular leader of a government actually controlled by foreign minister and Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, whose National League for Democracy came to power defeating the military junta in elections late last year. A constitution passed when the junta was in power forbids Suu Kyi from holding the President's office, but Kyaw was her pick.
Modi said Kyaw agreed with him on the need for the neighbours to demonstrate sensitivity towards each other, after talks that lasted over an hour. (Courtesy of telegraphindia.com)
