Myanmar, India vow to cooperate in border security

Xinhua, June 16, 2016 Adjust font size:

Myanmar and India vowed on Thursday to cooperate in border security and stability, sources with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.

The pledge came as Myanmar State Counselor and Foreign Minister Aung San Suu Kyi met with Ajit Doval, visiting Advisor for National Security of India who is visiting Nay Pyi Taw as special envoy of the Indian prime minister.

Their discussions also covered development of long-term advantages from road connectivity between the two countries.

In June last year, there were clashes between the Indian army and an Indian rebel group, the Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN), near Myanmar-India border.

Myanmar army then assured India of not tolerating any rebel groups active on its soil.

Doval last visited Myanmar in June last year. Endit
