Watching developments in Myanmar, says India as rebels capture military command

Hindustan Times  

NEW DELHI: India said on Friday that it is closely monitoring developments in Myanmar following reports of intensification of fighting between the junta and resistance forces and the capture of a military command in Rakhine state by the Arakan Army. India has largely refrained from criticising the junta’s actions since it assumed power in a coup two years ago, though it has called for a complete cessation of violence The resistance forces and so-called people’s defence forces in Myanmar have scored a series of military victories since three of the country’s main armed ethnic groups jointly launched a military offensive against the junta in October 2023. India’s Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, Bangladesh Advisor for Foreign Affairs Touhid Hossain, Myanmar Foreign Minister Than Swe, Thailand’s Foreign Minister Maris Sangiampongsa, Laos Foreign Minister Thongsavanh Phomvihane, and China Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Sun Weidong pose for a photo before the six-country informal consultation to discuss ways in addressing shared concerns, in Bangkok, Thailand. The fighting since the launch of an offensive last October by the Three Brotherhood Alliance, which includes the Arakan Army, Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army and Ta’ang National Liberation Army, has highlighted the junta’s increasingly fragile grip on areas close to India’s strategic northeastern states.
