Photos: Manmohan's visit to Myanmar

An Indian PM visiting the country after 26 years. Purpose: renewal of ties and building both land and waterway to ASEAN.

Why Myanmar is important to India?

1) Hydrocarbon deposits
2) We are building roads, railways and ports there.
3) Helped to uproot many militant bases inside their border
4) Less restrictions by the military govt.
5) Emergence of democracy and Suu Kyi
6) Way to South East Asia.
7) Reduce Chinese influence more and more. India did a mistake by vacating the place for China in Myanmar, but now their relationship is not as good as earlier and this is our chance. I think India was instrumental in removal of sanctions by US and EU.

I think this is a big opportunity for India to make Myanmar as another close ally.

We should build freight corridor and high speed railways from Siliguri to Singapore and HCMC.




My dream.......

Siliguri to Guwahati to Imphal to Nay Pyi Taw to Bangkok to Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Min City or Bangkok to Kualalumpur to Singapore.
