Here are the live updates of PM Narendra Modi's day two in Myanmar:
PM Modi praises Sushma Swaraj in Myanmar
The Prime Minister praised Sushma Swaraj saying the minister has been sensitive to the concerns of every Indian in any part of the world and is always ready to help. "Based on the feedback of the Indian diaspora we have undertaken numerous measures for them," he further said.
'Seeing mini-India'
PM Narendra Modi, while addressing an Indian community event at Thuwunna Stadium in Yangon, Myanmar, said he was seeing a "mini-India" in front of him.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi visits the 11th-century Ananda Temple in Myanmar's ancient city Bagan.
Apart from this temple, the Archaeological Survey of India will restore a number of pagodas and murals damaged in an earthquake in Myanmar last year. PM Modi, in his address with Myanmar State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, said he was excited to visit the temple and pay tributes to the monuments of religious and historical importance.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the 11th-century Ananda Temple in Myanmar's ancient city Bagan which was damaged in an earthquake last year and is being renovated with India's assistance. The temple, one of the surviving masterpieces of the Mon architecture, is believed to have been built around 1105 by King Kyanzittha, a Burmese monarch. The temple's architecture shows Mon and Indian influence. The temple was first damaged in an earthquake in 1975, and then last year when a 6.8-magnitude quake shook Myanmar. India and Myanmar signed an agreement in 2010 to restore Ananda Temple and New Delhi allocated $3 million to the project being carried out by the Archaeological Survey of India.
