What's the story

PM Narendra Modi discussed steps to deepen the "historical relationship" between India and Myanmar when he called on President Htin Kyaw during his maiden bilateral visit to the country.

Modi reached Myanmar's capital Nay Pyi Taw on Tuesday after attending the BRICS Summit in Xiamen, China.

Modi is expected to discuss several issues with Myanmar's state counsellor and de-facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi.

Details

Modi's visit comes amid increased Rohingya violence in Myanmar

Modi's visit to Myanmar comes amid increased ethnic violence with Rohingya Muslims in the Rakhine state.

The violence has left around 400 people dead and forced nearly 125,000 Rohingyas to flee to Bangladesh.

The Rohingya exodus remains a matter of concern for India as well.

Earlier, India said it plans to deport 40,000 Rohingya refugees living illegally in its territory.
