PM Modi Expresses Concern & Offers Aid To Myanmar & Thailand After Powerful Earthquake

On Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed deep concern over the 7.7 magnitude earthquake that struck Myanmar and Thailand.

The powerful tremor caused widespread panic and damage, including in the Thai capital of Bangkok, where buildings swayed in response to the tremor.

The earthquake, with its epicenter in Myanmar, was reported to have a shallow depth of just 10 kilometers (6.2 miles), according to the US Geological Survey and Germany’s GFZ Centre for Geosciences.

India’s Immediate Response & Support

PM Modi took to the social media platform X to assure both Myanmar and Thailand of India’s readiness to offer all possible assistance.

In his statement, he expressed his concern for the safety and well-being of those impacted while praying for their quick recovery.

He wrote, “Concerned by the situation in the wake of the Earthquake in Myanmar and Thailand. Praying for the safety and wellbeing of everyone. India stands ready to offer all possible assistance. In this regard, asked our authorities to be on standby. Also asked the MEA to remain in touch with the Governments of Myanmar and Thailand.”

Strengthening Regional Solidarity

This powerful earthquake, which affected both countries severely, has triggered widespread concern, especially in regions closer to the epicenter.

The magnitude 7.7 quake struck during the midday hours, shaking cities across Myanmar and Thailand.

Prime Minister Modi’s statement emphasizes India’s commitment to helping its neighbors during times of crisis.

In line with his directive, India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has been tasked with maintaining continuous contact with the authorities in Myanmar and Thailand to coordinate relief efforts.

Global & Regional Implications

The earthquake in both Myanmar and Thailand underscores the vulnerability of regions located near active fault lines.

While Myanmar and Thailand continue to assess the damage and casualties, international responses, including India’s, have been swift.

India’s immediate offering of assistance illustrates the nation’s role as a reliable partner in regional disaster response.

India’s Support & Cooperation

As Myanmar and Thailand begin their recovery process, India’s proactive stance highlights the importance of solidarity between neighboring countries in times of crisis.

India’s disaster relief teams are on standby, prepared to offer support as needed. Prime Minister Modi’s message reaffirms India’s commitment to regional cooperation and humanitarian aid.

The swift action of the Indian government, through both official channels and humanitarian efforts, demonstrates India’s readiness to respond quickly to natural disasters in its neighboring countries.

The MEA’s ongoing communication with the governments of Myanmar and Thailand will ensure that necessary aid reaches the affected areas promptly.
