India has sought the help of Myanmar in reigning in north-east insurgent groups which are planning large scale disturbances in the upcoming Manipur Assembly polls.

Home Secretary R K Singh, who led the country's delegation at the 17th National Level Meeting between India and Myanmar last week, mentioned the camps and training facilities of Indian insurgent groups on Myanmar soil and sought its cooperation in dealing with them.

In a statement, the Home Ministry said the leader of Myanmar delegation, Deputy Home Minister Brig Gen Kya Zan Myint, assured that Myanmar would never allow insurgents to use its territory to engage in any hostile activities against its neighbour India.

During the meeting, both sides expressed commitment to further strengthen the cooperation between the two countries in economic and developmental areas, closer people to people contact and maintaining peace and tranquility on the border.
