General MM Naravane and Harsh Vardhan Shringla, the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) and Foreign Secretary of India respectively, assured its support to assist Myanmar in its democratic transition. In order to strengthen partnership on multiple fronts, both sides discussed on capacity building, deepening economic and trade ties, connectivity projects, power and energy sector, and broadening the base for defence exchanges across all the three services. India is putting all its efforts in reducing Myanmar’s military dependence on China with the primary objective of preventing China from gaining a foothold in the Indian Ocean Region.
