In response to
Britain’s recent suspension of its training programme in England for Myanmar
soldiers due to the violence in Rakhine State, the Tatmadaw said yesterday it
would recall the officers as soon as possible and will “never send any trainees
to Britain, including trainees agreed on previously”.
“In this multi-party
democratic era, the Tatmadaw is constantly striving for cooperating in friendly
ways with armies from neighbouring countries, regional ones and international
countries.
“Accordingly, five
Myanmar military trainees are attending training in Britain. But due to the
demand of Britain parliamentarians concerning the events which took place in
Rakhine State, the military officials will be deported”.
The five Myanmar soldiers
arrived at the Myanmar military attachés office in London on Wednesday.
The Tatmadaw will
recall them as soon as possible and said they will “never, ever send any
trainees to Britain (in the future)”, according to a statement released
yesterday by the Tatmadaw True News Information Committee. —GNLM
