India and Myanmar Discuss Possible Land Exchange to Demarcate Manipur Border
India and Myanmar are discussing a possible territorial exchange to resolve an unsettled 2.8-km border stretch between pillars 65 and 68 in Manipur's Chandel district. The Ministry of External Affairs confirmed ongoing talks but did not confirm any agreement. The proposed land swap, reported by The Diplomat, aims to complete border demarcation and facilitate fencing to address security concerns. The 1,643-km India-Myanmar border spans four northeastern states, with some sections still undemarcated amid complex regional dynamics.
