India raised key issues with Myanmar President Min Aung Hlaing during their meeting, including internal security, stalled connectivity projects, and democratic transition.
The two leaders discussed the status of Aung San Suu Kyi, who was detained during a military coup in 2021, and Myanmar's peace process.
India emphasized the need for enduring peace, inclusion, and dialogue as Myanmar finds its way back towards democracy.
The Indian side also raised concerns about Myanmar's military operations against armed groups operating near the border, and the resultant influx of refugees to Indian states.
Modi and Hlaing agreed to facilitate and enhance bilateral trade, including through the Rupee-Kyat settlement mechanism.
The two countries also backed closer trade and investment cooperation in areas such as agro-processing, petroleum, energy, and mining.
