India has offered to assist Myanmar in establishing a 5G mobile network, according to an Indian government official on October 16. India launched its 5G telecom services in 2022 to provide high-speed internet on mobile phones.

Currently, 98% of districts and 90% of villages in India have access to 5G within a span of 21 months. "We have offered to assist Myanmar in setting up its 5G network," said Siddharth Mahajan, Joint Secretary of the Ministry of Commerce, during a press briefing.

The 5G collaboration offer was also discussed during the 8th India-Myanmar Joint Trade Committee meeting held last month, according to reports.

Both sides discussed potential cooperation in the maritime sector, including coastal shipping operations, during the meeting, the official added.
