The Indian ambassador to Myanmar reviewed the operations of the Kaladan Project at the Sittwe Port in Myanmar’s Rakhine province. The port is a key component of the India-assisted Kaladan Multi-Modal Transit Transport Corridor (KMMTTC) Project. Accompanied by officials from the Indian Embassy in Yangon, the Consulate General in Sittwe, and India Ports Global Limited (IPGL), the Indian ambassador met with local leadership to discuss bilateral development initiatives and community-focused programs.
The visit included a comprehensive review of Sittwe Port, which has handled over 150 vessels since its inauguration in May 2023. These vessels transported a variety of cargo, including food, agricultural commodities, medicines, fuel, vehicles, and construction materials.
During a meeting, both Indian and Myanmar sides underscored the importance of aligning development projects with local needs to benefit the people of Rakhine. They also stressed the significance of “early return to peace and stability,” necessary for maximising the Kaladan Project’s potential.
