What are the new and emerging challenges in the India-Myanmar relations?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n

1) <\/strong>Dilemma to engage with Military regime: <\/span><\/b>Since the coup, India has been firm that the gains made by Myanmar over the last decade on the path towards democracy should not be lost.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Further, any democratic transition <\/b>in Myanmar cannot be done without involving the Junta, so it is imperative that India keeps all channel of communication open with it. \u00a0<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2)<\/strong> Most of the countries in India and Myanmar\u2019s neighbourhood like <\/span>ASEAN members, Japan, Korea etc have started to deeply engage<\/span><\/b> with the military regime in Myanmar and India can\u2019t lag behind. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3) <\/strong>China\u2019s growing dominance<\/span><\/b>: <\/span>Ever since the coup, China\u2019s economic grip over Myanmar has only become tighter with a special focus on projects critical for the <\/span>China-Myanmar Economic Corridor<\/span><\/b>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Hence, India needs to have <\/span>continuous dialogue<\/span><\/b> with Myanmar keep the security situation in <\/span>North east under control.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Chinese capacity to create trouble in the North East was visible recently, from the last month\u2019s deadly <\/span>attack on an Assam Rifles<\/span><\/b> convoy near the Myanmar border in Manipur.<\/span> Its increasing influence over Myanmar, only provides with further options to destabilise Indian border areas.<\/p>\n

4)<\/strong> <\/span>Porous borders and Pandemic<\/span><\/b>: <\/span>India-Myanmar have porous borders at many places. <\/span>For India, a humanitarian crisis as a result of the pandemic-induced economic crisis in Myanmar can become a major issue<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
