“It does look like India is increasing some of its military sales to Burma as well as offering assistance and so forth at a similar time that China, obviously, is providing a lot as well. How do you see this playing out in terms of vis-a-vis some of the relationships between India and China as well,” Bera asked.
Singh said it is incredibly important for Burma to start interacting with militaries other than those that have been their traditional partners and suppliers, and with governments that have been other than their traditional partners.
“So we welcome that development,” he said.
“We believe China will try to maintain a relationship with Burma, and Burma is finding itself having, for the first time in many years, to actually figure out where it wants to place its bets, where it wants to put its cards, who it wants to deal with,” Singh said.
“We’d like to shape the kinds of choices that Burma makes through how we go through this delicate process of re-engagement with supporting reform at the center of how we approach things,” the top Pentagon official said.
