Brahmaputra-Ayeyarwady Dialogue: India-Myanmar Cooperation

Myanmar and India share a long geographical border and a shared heritage. Connected through the land, the North-Eastern states of India and the North-Western states of Myanmar are the global hotspot in terms of natural resources and strategic relevance. In view of the above, the Asian Confluence (ASCON) in collaboration with the ASEAN-India Centre (AIC) at RIS and Mandalay Forum for East Asian Studies organised the first-ever Brahmaputra-Ayeyarwady Dialogue on 4 September 2020 through video-conference. This Dialogue has reviewed the current phase of the bilateral relations in general and relations between India’s North-Eastern states and Myanmar in particular.
