His recent visit to India, his first abroad since becoming president, focused on increasing cooperation in trade, energy, and defense, with a pledge to expedite key transport links like the India-Myanmar-Thailand highway and the Kaladan Multi-modal Transit Transport Project.

Experts suggest the visit's primary significance was symbolic, helping to legitimize Min Aung Hlaing's presidency. AI
