Summary: "MEA J/S (Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Myanmar) Mohan Kumar was candid about India?s need to continue engaging in Burma and optimistic that PM Singh had begun to "clear the air" during his bilateral meeting with President Zia in Bangladesh. Acknowledging Indian competition with the Chinese presence in Burma, Kumar characterized the evolving relationship as "constructive engagement." Kumar was equally puzzled about the recent relocation of Burma?s capital, but offered Indian theories on the move, including fears of intelligence penetration in Rangoon or a power battle between State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) Chairman Than Shwe and Vice-Chairman Maung Aye. Regarding the November 12 bilateral meeting between PM Singh and President Zia on the sidelines of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) Summit, Kumar told us that most important result of the meeting was to "clear the air" between the heads of state. The two leaders did not cover much substantive ground, he reported, but the Indian PM had stressed that he and Zia should "cut through the red tape" together when problems between Delhi and Dhaka arise."
