Min Aung Hlaing’s June 2026 visit to New Delhi signals India’s willingness to publicly engage Myanmar’s military-backed leadership to protect strategic space amid intensifying regional competition with China. The approach may unlock minerals and connectivity cooperation, but it carries security, reputational, and stakeholder-access risks that could limit India’s long-term leverage.
The Tatmadaw’s early-2026 gains in Chin State, including the recapture of Tonzang and Falam, suggest a campaign focused on retaking strategic corridors, constraining cross-border logistics, and tightening pressure on the Arakan Army. The offensive may improve Myanmar’s frontier leverage but raises risks of displacement and cross-border security incidents affecting India’s Mizoram/Manipur and Bangladesh’s CHT borderlands.
