The team had earlier visited Pune to attend MILEX-2018 (Joint exercise amongst BIMSTEC countries).

A Defence Ministry spokesperson said the visit will strengthen "bilateral defence cooperation mechanism between the two friendly neighbouring countries" and help in ensuring better management of Indo-Myanmar Border.

Vice Senior General Soe Win interacted with Lieutenant General Abhay Krishna, GOC-in-C, Eastern Command, in his office at Fort William here.

"They discussed various regional and other security-related challenges concerning both the countries," the spokesperson said.
