The reasons for this are not entirely clear, but it is likely that Myanmar&#8217;s military government at the time was not considered to be a reliable partner for cooperation.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, Myanmar has made significant progress towards democracy and economic development. As a result, there have been calls for Myanmar to be invited to join SAARC. However, so far, these calls have not been successful.<\/p>\n<p>The main reason for this is that India is opposed to Myanmar&#8217;s membership. India has long-standing security concerns about Myanmar, and it is worried that Myanmar&#8217;s membership in SAARC would give it greater influence in the region.<\/p>\n<p>It is possible that Myanmar&#8217;s membership in SAARC could be approved in the future, but this is likely to depend on a number of factors, including the progress that Myanmar makes towards democracy and economic development, and the willingness of India to change its position.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Subscribe on
