Myanmar, India Seek Amicable Resolution To Land Demarcation Issue

YANGON, Jan 8 (Bernama) -- Myanmar and India said they will sort out their differences amicably over a border area in Bamaw valley, Xinhua news agency reports local media as saying Wednesday.

Myanmar has objected to India's construction of an integrated check post (ICP) in Bamaw valley near the border pillar-78, leading to suspension of work by India on Jan 2.

Myanmar Foreign Ministry was quoted by the New Light of Myanmar as saying teams from both countries carried out a land survey in the area on Monday.

India and Myanmar signed a demarcation agreement in March 1967.

However, several border marks have not been established due to differences over the location of border pillars in the valley.
