While military cooperation is important, we should also ensure that our engagement with Myanmar doesn't overlook human rights concerns in their country. Balanced approach needed.

Hope this cooperation helps in controlling cross-border insurgency issues. Our Northeast states need peace and development, not violence from across borders.
