Description: As the civil war in Myanmar rages on, India reflects on its current engagement strategy with all stakeholders.

Join us for a discussion exploring the key political, economic, and security implications of Myanmar’s civil war for India-Myanmar relations, as well as changes in India’s foreign policy towards Myanmar. India, with its strategic interests in the region, has had to navigate a delicate balance between supporting Myanmar’s democratic aspirations and safeguarding its national security, particularly along the shared border. As the resistance continues to make unprecedented territorial gains and the junta loses further control, India is forced to consider engagement with new stakeholders in the country.

Featured in the discussion is Angshuman Choudhury, an expert on Myanmar’s domestic politics and India’s foreign policy, who is currently pursuing a joint PhD from the National University of Singapore and King's College London. He will evaluate how recent changes in Myanmar’s internal landscape are reshaping India’s foreign policy towards Myanmar.
