Myanmar last week told an Indian delegation it wants to export gas from discoveries made in offshore Block A-1 and potential reserves in Block A-3 block to China, highly placed sources said.

This has got nothing to do with the Foreign Ministry.
The Indian Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has been negotiating the Iran-India Natural Gas Pipe Line without discussing the Project with :
1. Ministry of Defence
2. Ministry of External Affairs
3. Ministry of Commerce and Industry
4. Ministry of Finance
5. Ministry of Home Affairs.
At least this was the situation with Mani Shankar Aiyar!
I doubt if has changed.
