Description:
Summary. "Embassy contacts have confirmed press
reports that India has supplied Burma 105 mm Howitzers and
associated equipment. However, the Ministry of External
Affairs (MEA) denied that any such deals had transpired.
India?s rationale for supplying weapons to the junta is
ostensibly to support joint counter-insurgency operations
aimed at Indian separatist groups based within Burmese
borders." End Summary.
