- Min Aung Hlaing will travel to India on Saturday, May 28, for a five‑day visit, his first foreign trip since becoming president.
- Min Aung Hlaing will meet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, President Droupadi Murmu, and business leaders, accompanied by a delegation of Myanmar ministers and officials.
- India's foreign ministry said the visit is intended to strengthen multi‑faceted relations between the two countries.
- Min Aung Hlaing was sworn in as Myanmar’s president in April after a 2021 military coup and a January election that gave him a walk‑over win.
Why it matters: India’s business sector gets a direct line to Myanmar’s market, while Myanmar’s president secures diplomatic legitimacy, bolstering New Delhi’s influence in a region where China’s assertiveness is rising.
