Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday held extensive talks with Myanmarese President U Htin Kyaw to bring a new momentum in bilateral ties between the two neighbours.
This was the first top-level engagement between the two countries after iconic leader Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy wrested power in Myanmar from the military junta.
This is Htin Kyaw’s first overseas trip after assuming charge of the top office nearly five months back, following the landslide victory of Suu Kyi’s party.
He arrived in the Buddhist pilgrimage town of Gaya on Saturday where he visited the Mahabodhi Temple, the most sacred of Buddhist shrines, Daijokyo Buddhist Temple and Myanmar Buddhist Vihara. He travelled to Agra on Sunday and paid a visit to Taj Mahal before reaching New Delhi.
