 Indo – Myanmar

Notwithstanding the unfortunate developments since the X took over, India should
implement an unbiased and proactive Y strategy that facilitates the Act East policycrucial
for India’s long-term security and economic interests. A recalibration exercise for developing a
robust relationship with Z is the need of the hour. Such a policy should take into account the
measures that China has taken to arm the Tatmadaw. India, in all itswisdom, should find ways
to support Naypyidaw for its critical requirements of systems and platforms like UAVs,
surveillance systems and communication equipment. In addition, there is a need for dynamic
economic engagement with Myanmar, to expedite the completion of the earlier agreement on the
operationalisation of the Sittwe port, the establishment of an oil refinery and joint vaccine
production facilities at a cost of $6 billion. Myanmar — regardless of who governs its
polity — is not only the decisivelynchpin for India’s Act East policy but critical for the
economic development andsecurity of India’s Northeast. The latter aspect has become even
more imperative as earlier operations that were conducted against Indian insurgent groups
(IIGs) haveexperienced a reversal, with many valley-based insurgent groups of Manipur forging
an agreement with the Myanmar army.

 INDO- SRILANKA
Sri Lanka’s economic crisis is unprecedented by any standard. Firstly, barring
X, no country in south Asia has experienced such a severe meltdown at any
point in the last 75 years. Second, Sri Lanka went through a major civil war
from about 1982 to 2009, and while the country’s economy, once praised by Y
as a model for Singapore, stumbled, it was never so bad as to to cause food and
fuel queues. And thirdly, Sri Lanka has been through two insurrections by the
leftist-nationalist Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna, but has never seen such public
anger and hostility against those in office. Some have called it Sri Lanka’s Z.

 Indo- Pakistan
Over the last few days, Pakistan and India have given the world an unexpected real time
demonstration of how two nuclear armed neighbours should behave to prevent a crisis
from forming and escalating. A missile was fired from India and impacted more than 100
km inside Pakistani territory on March 9. The Pakistani military announced this more
than 24 hours later at a press conference, making it clear that the missile was unarmed
and had caused no loss of life on their side. It was also made clear to the Pakistani
media that the Pakistani military was inclined to believe it was a mistake, but that it
would wait for India to explain what had happened. The major general conducting the
press conference delivered an admonishment to the Indian side about its
“unprofessionalism” and “technical inefficiency”, as the missile, cruising at 40,000 ft
was close to civilian flights, but he stayed with the facts. In turn, India did well to accept
that a mistake had been made, that “in the course of routine maintenance, a technical
malfunction led to the accidental firing of a missile” and expressed relief that no lives
were lost due to the “deeply regrettable” incident.
