NEW DELHI: Earlier this week, India’s foreign secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla and Army chief Gen MM Naravane visited Myanmar and interacted with the top leadership. The bilateral relationship straddles both civil and military domains. India is part of several key infrastructure projects there. Besides, India-Myanmar ties are rooted in history and culture. Of late, China has been making inroads into Myanmar and India is wary of that. In this episode of ‘Simply Nitin’, StratNews Global Editor-in-Chief Nitin A. Gokhale explains where Myanmar figures in India’s ‘Act East’ scheme of things.
Nitin A. Gokhale is a media entrepreneur, one of South Asia's leading strategic affairs analyst and author of over a dozen books so far on military history, insurgencies and wars.
Starting his career in journalism in 1983, he has since led teams of journalists across media platforms.
A specialist in conflict coverage, Gokhale has covered the insurgencies in India’s North-East, the 1999 Kargil conflict and Sri Lanka’s Eelam War IV between 2006-2009.
Gokhale now travels across the globe to speak at seminars and conferences, and lecture at India’s premier defence colleges. He has founded three niche portals, Bharatshakti.in, stratnewsglobal.com and Interstellar.news.
