Government and think-tank representatives from Myanmar and its neighbours, including Thailand, China and India, held talks in New Delhi on Tuesday as part of a secretive effort to de-escalate a bloody crisis in the army-run country, two sources said.
The talks this week were the second in a so-called Track 1.5 dialogue that started in Thailand last month. They came as frustration grows within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) bloc at the military’s failure to implement a peace plan that it agreed to in April 2021.
