India and Myanmar also signed a cultural exchange programme for the years 2017 to 2020.
An MoU was signed on cooperation between Myanmar Press Council and the Press Council of India.
Two MoUs on establishment of the India-Myanmar Centre for Enhancement of IT Skill and the Myanmar Institute of Information Technology (MIIT) were extended.
Two other MoUs were signed on medical products regulation and in the field of health and medicine.
Another MoU was signed on enhancing cooperation for upgrade of the Women’s Police Training Centre at Yamethin, Myanmar.
Modi arrived here on Tuesday on a three-day visit in what is his first bilateral trip to India’s eastern neighbour. He had earlier come here in 2014 to attend the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean)-India Summit. (IANS)
