UN envoy to Myanmar in India on two-day visit

This is his second visit to India and meetings with India’s foreign policy establishment show India’s crucial role and interest in restoring democracy in Myanmar. It is believed Gambari’s discussions with the Indian foreign policy establishment is crucial as both the countries are involved in key projects like the Kaladan multimodal project. Once completed, this project will open up a route through the port town of Sittwe in Myanmar, giving an access to Northeast India without having to involve Bangladesh. Also, Myanmar has in recent years helped Indian Army contain insurgency in its N-E states by cracking down on anti-India rebel camps in Myanmar.
