PM Modi arrives in Myanmar to attend ASEAN, East Asia Summits

Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Myanmar as part of the first leg of his ten-day trip that will see him interact with leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries and attend the East Asia Summit (EAS). Prime Minister Modi was given a guard of honour upon his arrival at the airport.
During his interactions, Prime Minister Modi is expected to pitch for improving connectivity between India and other countries of the region. Prime Minister Modi will be visiting Australia from November 16-18 to improve and strengthen relations between the two countries. This is an Indian Prime Minister's first bilateral visit to that country since 1986. A number of agreements will be signed and announcements will be made on new initiatives. A strong delegation of CEOs will accompany Prime Minister Modi to highlight the economic interests between the two countries.
Prime Minister Modi will also participate in the G-20 Summit in Australia, following which he shall travel to Fiji. He will be the first Prime Minister to visit Fiji after former prime minister Indira Gandhi visited the island nation in 1981. Prime Minister Modi earlier in the day invited thoughts and ideas for his visit to Australia. He also shared a webpage for citizens on his twitter account to stay updated on his visit to Australia.
