Overview
- Tripathi, who on Sunday handed over a containerised small arms simulator and a rigid inflatable boat, is using the visit to boost Myanmar Navy training and patrol capacity.
- On Saturday he embarked the Myanmar frigate UMS Kyan Sit Thar and received a Guard of Honour before talks at the Central Naval Command in Yangon.
- He met Rear Admiral Aung Aung Naing and Rear Admiral Khun Aung Kyaw to expand training exchanges and operational links, with planned meetings set with top military leaders including General Ye Win Oo.
- The agenda covers coordinated patrols and exercises such as IMNEX and IMCOR, which are India–Myanmar drills and joint border-sea patrols that build familiarity and maritime domain awareness.
- The visit unfolds as local police in Mizoram report more than 50 people crossing from Chin State after alleged airstrikes that killed seven, a spillover that underscores the security stakes along India’s northeast border.
