India to step up to win over Myanmar
According to the U.S. “diplomat” magazine website reported on October 19, in the past few years , the international community has been trying to build nuclear weapons to Myanmar serious attention. It is reported that, according to some Burmese opposition sources, Myanmar and North Korea developing nuclear weapons and missiles are inextricably linked. Many international analysts believe that the potential proliferation of nuclear weapons in the next list, the Southeast Asian country of Myanmar is likely to be “match.”
However, just last month, Myanmar Science and Technology Minister suddenly announced an important decision. He openly said that Myanmar is to give up nuclear technology, despite the use of these technologies for peaceful purposes, but worried about the development of Myanmar this technology will cause the international community “misunderstanding.” He also affirmed that Myanmar does not desire to develop nuclear weapons, and in this regard lack of infrastructure, technology and funding.
Some Western media have said the move is aimed at Myanmar with the past “farewell” to speed up the pace of integration into the international community. At the same time, Myanmar’s first suspension of the China-aided dam, then Myanmar president Wu Dengsheng again on October 12 to 15 high-profile visit to India, Hong Kong, “Asia Times,” the article said that India is doing all it can to move up their relations with Myanmar, it appears that India is accelerating the implementation of its “Look East” strategy to counter the power brought by the Chinese “threat.”
pull out of Burma, “old friends”?
According to the “Diplomat” magazine article describes the site, so far, the development of nuclear weapons outside the grasp of Myanmar very little conclusive evidence, and even the International Atomic Energy Agency on this issue did not show a clear attitude. Since the elections last year, the outside world in order to meet the concern of democracy in Myanmar, the Myanmar government seems to have taken an important step in this goal, even if the election itself does not achieve absolute freedom and justice. Born near the national parliaments are to play a domestic dispute with his role in the current government of Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi leaders and even reached out to the “olive branch” – in recent amnesty, pardon up 6,000 prisoners, including political prisoners, including more than two hundred. These domestic political changes, will certainly contribute to Myanmar’s reintegration into the international community, and to seek economic revival. This implies that there is a strong promoter, and that is India.
Hong Kong, “Asia Times,” the article said, with resource-rich Myanmar to establish business relations, India and China’s “Great Game” is intensified. To invest in Burma, India has long been living in the shadow of China. Neighbors India and Myanmar, China and Myanmar share a border. China to Myanmar Myanmar foreign investment accounted for two-thirds of the total investment, trade volume between China and Myanmar, accounting for almost half of the total bilateral trade in Myanmar. But there are signs that, with the Indian radical implementation of the “Look East” strategy to counter China’s influence in Asia,
India has been worried about the embrace of Burma into China
Hong Kong, “Asia Times,” the article said, in fact, China and Myanmar, India has long been a close relationship between the heart. The end of May this year, Wu Dengsheng in Myanmar just concluded presidential visit to China shortly after the Indian media once again stir up the “China military threat theory.” At the time, “India Times” published an article that China is seeking to expand the Navy’s military, hoping to Burma into the Indian Ocean. In 2010, China’s “Guangzhou”, “lake” in the fight against piracy in the Indian Ocean to complete the task, had docked at the port near Yangon Di Lawa.
analysis of Indian scholars believe that Burma is difficult to reject China’s request. Myanmar needs to maintain good relations with China, because they are seeking from China to Myanmar energy, additional investment in infrastructure, including being among the oil and gas pipeline projects. In order to come up with real “sincerity”, blocking bilateral relations, India recently announced it will provide $ 500 million loans in Myanmar to help Myanmar develop irrigation projects and other projects. With this gift, President Wu Dengsheng Myanmar to visit India also “ripe.” Face of the extraordinary relationship between India and Myanmar warming, various media have interpreted.

Earlier, India had in 2008 agreed to implement the $ 110 million cost of the project and its financing, but so far no promises. Development of Sittwe the idea was to make port in eastern India from Calcutta to transport goods to port of Sittwe, then from the port of Sittwe upstream, only to return and cut off the northeastern Indian states, it can enter Myanmar. India has also vigorously promote the build up to Thailand through Myanmar from Manipur road network plan. This is not a new program, but because of fear northeast India separatists might use to attack these roads so repeatedly postponed.
Although these measures to be perfect, but the measures have shown that India is re-introduced the “Look East” strategy energize.
