Understanding the Principles of MOU between Myanmar And India
Before stupid comments sour the Relationship between
Myanmar and
India, let me explain the diplomatic relationship between the two nations.
After the surgical strike conducted by India to eliminate the Indian Rebel Group (NSCN-K), the two nations understood that
these armed insurgents are cross-border organizations and
will need to cooperate more in order to combat these group
s. A cooperation-framed work has been formed in order to combat these cross-border armed groups. These are called
MOU agreements. One of the topics the
MOU between India and Myanmar include is
border security.
After the coup in Myanmar, the Chin nationalist armed groups have more active on the border. These groups in Myanmar and the insurgent groups in India are somewhat of the same religion and ethnic makeup. Because of the MOU framed work, the regional level officers need to inform the counterpart in order to conduct the military operation, which makes it much easier.
This is the MOU in action.
PS. Regardless of the MOU, let me sincerely apologize to our Indian friends and thank them for their magnanimous attitude.
