Tun MT (NP News) - Aug 19
Superior leaders of the two Asian countries – Myanmar and India expressed their mutual tie with respect amid international’s repulsive relations to Myanmar on its internal grounds after the country’s 2021 political transition.
"Our relationship is not something which should be judged... by the politics of the day," Indian Minister of External Affairs Subrahmanyam Jaishankar told an audience at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok on August 18 as quoted by the Agence France Presse saying New Delhi's position on Myanmar has been consistent over decades and goes back to the country's struggle for freedom against colonialism.
Myanmar, bolstering a stronger multi-sectorial relation with Russia, doesn’t fail to holding cherish its territorially connected neighbors, China and India, both of which the country has had historical ties, cultures, and traditions since their ancestral ages with centuries.
Myanmar’s State Administration Council Spokesperson Major General Zaw Min Tun said, “We, Myanmar, always respect the honor and synergistic relations of the neighbor countries,” on Wednesday (August 17) during the press conference held in Naypyidaw.
He addressed, “We respect relations with India. In fact, India and Myanmar have mutually interacted in literature, culture and religion for many centuries,” continuing that the two countries have built formal diplomatic relations after independence in 1948. It has been more than 70 years that the two nations have built a diplomatic relationship.
Major General Zaw Min Tun continued, “We have been living peacefully in coexistence between the two nations for many centuries in accord with the foreign policies. We have built a better and stronger relationship in both military and civil sectors.”
India and Myanmar always defend ties in protecting security, prosperity and stability in either bilateral or regional affairs, Myanmar’s spokesperson said.
