Min Aung Hlaing has been elected as the President of Myanmar, with the country's Parliament choosing him for the post.
Myanmar is one of India's immediate neighbours and shares a land border with several north-eastern Indian states, so a change at the top of its leadership is closely watched in New Delhi. The development matters for India's Act East Policy and for cooperation on border security and connectivity. Aspirants should remember the name of the new head of state and that he was elected by Parliament.
