Myanmar military denied news reports that armed forces of India and Myanmar have been conducting joint military operations against Indian rebel groups, reports Nagaland Post on June 18. Myanmar Army Brigadier-General Zaw Min stated that ‘’ There was no joint military operation in the sense of their troops coming into our country, or our troops going into their country. But there is cooperation in arresting [rebels] and holding joint meetings. In that regard, however, we cooperate not only with India, but also with other neighbours”. He also added that ‘’ Around four or five months ago, we arrested Assam and Meitei (Manipuri)rebels who had undergone training in Myanmar. So, we launched an investigation and found that they were stationed in the areas controlled by National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K). We carried out clearance operations and issued a press statement about it”.
