#2 Additional from Times of India: NEW DELHI: Myanmar said Monday it will not allow its territory to be used for anti-India activities as New Delhi rolled out a red carpet to welcome Yangon's army leader, General Than Shwe. "On the question of insurgent groups, the general conveyed his assurance that Myanmar would not allow its territory for any hostile elements against India," Indian foreign ministry spokesman Navtej Sarna told a news conference. The general also said Myanmar would "not hesitate" to take action against such elements, he added.

New Delhi wants Yangon's backing in crushing anti-Indian rebels allegedly hiding out in Myanmar and other neighbouring nations. The rebels have been blamed for a recent wave of bombings in India's northeast that left more than 80 dead and nearly 220 injured. After the meeting, officials from both sides signed three agreements including one on cooperation in "non-traditional security issues" comprising "terrorism, drug-trafficking, organised crime, international economic crime and cyber crime". Sarna said the agreement envisaged exchange of information and personnel. It was also decided to set up a joint consultative group to monitor cooperation in the field, he added.
