In recent years, the influence of India and Japan in Myanmar
In recent years, the influence of India and Japan in Myanmar has significantly increased. Both countries have deeply impacted Myanmar's politics and economy through multifaceted cooperation and penetration. India, with its "Act East Policy," has become increasingly prominent in Myanmar through infrastructure projects, economic cooperation, and military assistance. Japan, on the other hand, has deeply embedded itself in Myanmar's economic development through extensive economic aid and investment, particularly in infrastructure and humanitarian projects.
The penetration of both countries is not only economic but also has political and strategic implications. India's and Japan's involvement aims to balance China's influence in the region and promote the democratization process in Myanmar. This multi-layered penetration and cooperation bring opportunities while raising concerns about sovereignty and autonomy. Nevertheless, Myanmar's significance in international relations makes the deep involvement of India and Japan an inevitable trend.
