Which areas of Myanmar could India mine rare earths?

CNI News

4 September 2025

In Myanmar, the rare earth mining industry is currently dominated by Chinese companies and the Chinese market. Analysts in military and political affairs are now debating which regions India might be able to enter if it were to begin rare earth mining in Myanmar.

During the Chairman of Myanmar’s State Security and Peace Commission’s trip to China, he also met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, where the two agreed to enhance bilateral cooperation in areas including rare earth mining and security.

Since the rare earth deposits along the China–Myanmar border in Kachin State are already controlled by Chinese operators, political analyst Dr. Aung Myo told CNI News that if India were to pursue rare earth mining through a government-to-government (G to G) agreement, it would most likely do so in Sagaing Region.

Does Declaration of KNU as a Terrorist Organization mean KNU is dismissed from the NCA?

CNI News

3 September 2025

The declaration of the Karen National Union (KNU) as a terrorist organization and unlawful association has sparked comments among military and political analysts on whether it means expulsion from the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement (NCA).

On August 28, 2025, the Anti-Terrorism Central Committee under the National Security and Peace Commission declared the KNU a terrorist organization, while the Ministry of Home Affairs announced it as an unlawful association. Since the KNU is a signatory to the NCA, the declaration has raised questions.

Dr. Aung Myo, a Myanmar political analyst, told CNI News that the move was more like a suspension than a complete expulsion from the NCA:
