The Indian Ministry of External Affairs has confirmed that a proposal to exchange territory with Myanmar is currently under discussion.
India and Myanmar share a 1,410‑km border that has historically been a point of strategic and economic interest. Recent diplomatic talks have reportedly included a proposal for a territorial exchange between the two countries.
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) confirmed that the idea is being discussed at senior levels, though no specific details have been released.
Such a move would be unprecedented in the region and could impact trade routes, security arrangements and local communities along the frontier.
No official statement has yet outlined the terms or the areas involved, and the proposal remains in the preliminary discussion stage.
