In this new environment, this paper focused on the previous relations that Myanmar maintained before its transition in whichthe relation with India had been singled out. The paper had examined the bilateral relationship from past to present as well as the evolution of Myanmar’s foreign policy through the years and assessed how Myanmar reoriented its foreign affairs after the transition enhanced the country’s reform and development process and how the relation with India had been taken forward in this new political set-up.
