Jaishankar met with United Nations Special Envoy of the Secretary General on Myanmar, Julie Bishop, to discuss crucial issues concerning Indo-Myanmar relations. Key topics of discussion included border stability, the refugee situation, transnational crime, and economic support to Myanmar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Jaishankar stated:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Glad to meet UN Special Envoy of the SG on Myanmar Julie Bishop this evening in Delhi. Discussed our border stability, refugee situation, transnational crime out of Myanmar, and providing economic support. Exchanged views on the political situation.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Concerns Over Bishop\u2019s Business Ties<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bishop\u2019s visit to India comes at a time when civil society organizations are calling for an investigation into a potential conflict of interest concerning her involvement with a China-linked rare-earth mining company operating in Myanmar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An open letter addressed to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and the UN General Assembly, signed by 260 Myanmar and international organizations, criticizes Bishop\u2019s business engagements. The activist group <em>Justice For Myanmar (JFM)<\/em> has accused her of maintaining ties with Energy Transition Minerals (ETM), an Australian-listed company where she serves as a strategic advisor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of ETM\u2019s key partners is <em>Shenghe Resources<\/em>, a Chinese rare-earth conglomerate with a 9% stake in ETM and a seat on its board. The company has played a crucial role in Myanmar\u2019s rare-earth mining sector, which has been linked to environmental degradation and allegations of funding Myanmar\u2019s military, according to reports from <em>Myanmar Now<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bishop Denies Conflict of Interest<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Julie Bishop has strongly denied allegations regarding a conflict of interest, stating that her advisory role at ETM does not interfere with her duties as UN Special Envoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bishop was appointed as the UN\u2019s Myanmar Special Envoy in April last year, following the controversial tenure of her predecessor, Singaporean diplomat Noeleen Heyzer. Heyzer was criticized for her approach to Myanmar\u2019s junta after meeting with military leader Senior-General Min Aung Hlaing in August 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As geopolitical tensions in the region grow, India remains committed to maintaining stability and fostering positive relations with Myanmar. The outcome of Jaishankar\u2019s discussions with Bishop could play a key role in shaping the future diplomatic course between India, Myanmar, and the international community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>External Affairs Minister S.
