National Security Advisor Ajit Doval is expected to travel to Myanmar for a two-day visit on 17 June.
Doval is expected to meet with Myanmar’s President Thein Sein and other top leaders in Naypyidaw.
The main topic of discussion is expected to be around security cooperation between India and Myanmar, especially in the arena of counterinsurgency operations. Doval will also be identifying leaders of the insurgent group SS Khaplang’s Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN) who are said to be operating in Myanmar.
Doval’s visit is in light of the counterinsurgency operation carried out by India on June 9 in Myanmar, in retaliation to the killing of 18 Indian soldiers in an ambush in Manipur by the Northeast insurgent group who had claimed to have come from camps in Myanmar.
