India to roll out red carpet for Myanmar general

[guru1]

NEW DELHI: India will roll out the red carpet for a top military general from Myanmar during his forthcoming visit to India next month in line with the overall policy to ensure China does not manage to outflank New Delhi once again in the region.

General Min Aung Hlaing, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces in Myanmar, will be in India from August 1 to 8. He is scheduled to meet defence minister A K Antony and the three Service chiefs — Admiral Nirmal Verma, Air Chief Marshal N A K Browne and General Bikram Singh - in New Delhi on August 3.

Apart from visiting Buddhist sites in Bodhgaya, the Myanmarese general will also be hosted at the Eastern Army Command at Kolkata, Eastern Naval Command at Visakhapatnam and other defence establishments during the visit.

The visit comes soon after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh went to Naypyitaw towards end-May, the first such visit by an Indian PM to Myanmar in 25 years. While a dozen bilateral MoUs were inked, the PM also met Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi during his three-day visit to the country that is undergoing a phase of transition from total military control to some sort of political reforms.

Bravo, congratulation.

Its purely for strategic purposes as India wants to decrease China's influence in Myanmar. Just wanted to give it a heads up before people charge us for supporting the "murderers".

Good news. We strongly support the strengthening relationship between the two countries India-Myanmar.
General Min Aung Hlaing also visited Vietnam in 14 Nov, 2011, after he took office Myanmar Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services.

India's look east policy is really bearing fruits now. It would be awsome if India, Vietnam, Myanmar and other south east countries come together and co-operate on economic, social and political issues.

So what happens now to the new world order talked about in one of the other threads

Remember its China that sells Myanmar military equipment. So who is encouraging/supporting them is pretty clear.
