President Kovind extends India’s support to Myanmar in taking forward peace process and economic recovery

President Ram Nath Kovind has extended India’s support to the efforts of Myanmar in taking forward the peace process, national reconciliation and economic recovery. Addressing at the banquet hosted in his honour in Nay Pyi Taw yesterday, he said that Without unity and territorial integrity of Myanmar, India cannot succeed in its efforts to bring development, prosperity and connectivity to its Northeastern states, which border Myanmar. 

He also expressed satisfaction at the efforts put in by India and Myanmar to strengthen bilateral relations through capacity-building and growing commercial and cultural exchanges. Mr Kovind said that both the countries share a unique emotional connect owing to their close cultural ties and heritage of Buddhism.
