Myanmar Dilemma
China’s delicate and evolving role in Myanmar’s escalating civil war underscores the country’s shifting priorities in the region and the risks of balancing support for a faltering junta with the need for border stability.
India on Thursday expressed deep concern over the clashes between Myanmar’s military and anti-junta forces close to the Indian border in Mizoram.
”We are deeply concerned with such incidents close to our border. Our position on the ongoing situation in Myanmar is very clear. We want secession of the violence and restitution situation or resolution of the situation through constructive dialogue,” Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said at a press briefing
An offensive by Myanmar’s anti-junta groups has seen resistance fighters capture key towns and regions near the border with India in recent days. It has triggered concerns about the influx of refugees to the North eastern states of India.
