NEW DELHI: India gave a red-carpet welcome on Monday to Myanmar´s junta leader-turned President Min Aung Hlaing -- his first trip abroad since becoming civilian leader -- with talks focusing on security and trade.
The former military chief met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday, where they shook hands outside New Delhi´s sprawling Hyderabad House. Modi told the Myanmar leader that “India remains Myanmar´s trusted neighbour, a reliable partner and steadfast first responder in times of crisis”, Indian foreign ministry spokesman Randhir Jaiswal said.
