India and Myanmar Discuss Border Demarcation Amid Land Swap Reports
India and Myanmar are engaged in discussions to resolve unsettled sections of their shared 1,643-km border, particularly along Manipur's Chandel district. The Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal confirmed ongoing talks but did not confirm reports of a territorial land swap. Reports cite a proposal to exchange about 1.4 square miles between border pillars 65 and 68 to complete demarcation by August 2026. The border runs through four northeastern Indian states and Myanmar's Sagaing Region, with complex terrain and communities on both sides.
