India watching China actions in Myanmar, say officials

Sources say increased Chinese activities around Myanmar are a cause of concern to India, since naval facilities on Great Coco Island, the site of a major signals intelligence facility, are situated near Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Asked whether the issue came up during his interactions with the Chinese Navy, Bansal said: ‘‘No. Not this issue because that is at a much higher level. Our immediate aim is to have Navy-to-Navy contact and strengthening our relationship (with China),’’ he said.(PTI)
