NAY PYI TAW: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said he had a “wonderful meeting” with Myanmar President Htin Kyaw during which they discussed steps to deepen the “historical relationship” between the two neighbours.
Modi called on President Kyaw soon after he arrived in the country on his first bilateral visit.
