NAY PYI TAW: India has said that peace and stability in Myanmar are in its own interest as the two countries stressed on the need to maintain security and stability along their borders and vowed not to allow insurgent groups to use their soil for hostile activities against each other side.
In a joint statement issued at the end of President Ram Nath Kovind’s official engagements in Myanmar on Thursday, the two countries also called on the world community to end selective and partial approaches to combating terrorism.
During his visit, President Kovind held extensive talks with Myanmar leaders – President U Win Myint and State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi.
“The leaders agreed that terrorism constitutes a significant threat to peace and stability in the region and should be confronted in all its forms and manifestations.” the statement said, adding that they also called for the expeditious finalisation and adoption of a Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism by the UN General Assembly.
