India and Myanmar Discuss Unsettled Border Areas Amid Territory Exchange Reports
India and Myanmar are engaged in discussions to resolve unsettled sections of their shared border in Manipur. The Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal confirmed ongoing talks but did not confirm reports of a territorial exchange. Reports indicate a possible land swap involving around 1.4 square miles between border pillars 65 and 68 in Manipur's Chandel district, aiming to complete boundary demarcation. The 1,643-km border spans multiple Indian states and Myanmar regions, with complex terrain and communities on both sides.
