He reviewed the issues of the Assam-Nagaland border at a high-level meeting here on Saturday, the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) said in a post on X.

He underscored the importance of sustained peace, mutual cooperation and constructive dialogue during the meeting.

“Assam remains firmly committed to preserving its historical and cultural bonds with Nagaland while advancing a framework of economic collaboration and enduring harmony,” Sarma said.

Assam shares a 512.1-km border with Nagaland, with a dispute over the boundary since the creation of the neighbouring state in 1963.
